How long should the synoptic project for the Digital Marketer standard take to complete?

The synoptic project is designed to allow the apprentice to demonstrate their knowledge and application of skill in the form of a business-related project.

Each project will typically take four working days to complete. Apprentices will complete their projects off-the-job so that they are away from the day-to-day pressures of work and in a ‘controlled' environment, which may be on the employer’s or the training provider’s premises.

The requirements for the 'controlled environment' will include a quiet room, away from the regular place of work, with a dedicated workstation and access to all the required equipment.

The 'controlled environment' will also have someone responsible for invigilating. They will ensure all the work is the apprentice's own and respond to any questions consistently.
