A service design apprenticeship is not only a great way to upskill existing employees, it’s also an opportunity to bring someone – and something – new to your team.
What is Service Design?
Service design focuses on creating and improving services to enhance customer experiences and streamline operations. It involves understanding user needs, designing efficient processes, and implementing solutions that benefit both customers and the business. This approach ensures that all areas of a service are seamlessly integrated, providing the best experience for end-users.
Service design differs from user experience (UX) as it focuses on how the user experience is internally created, as opposed to improving the usability and desirability of the digital interfaces themselves.
Why is Service Design Needed?
In today’s competitive market, service designers help organisations stand out by ensuring services are user-centred, efficient, and adaptable to changing needs. It drives customer satisfaction, which is crucial for retaining happy customers and staying ahead in the industry.
Why a Service Design Apprenticeship?
Our service design apprenticeship was created to equip junior professionals with specialised, transferrable skills in a growing discipline. It enables them to tackle real-world challenges, making them more valuable to their employer. By focusing on both classroom and practical knowledge, apprenticeships ensure that learners are well-rounded professionals ready to make a positive impact both during, and on completion, of their course.

Creating the Service Designer Course
We built this apprenticeship with both the public and private sector in mind. We worked with a well-known service design consultancy and took input from the trailblazer group of employers so that the course reflects employer priorities. Early cohorts are now well underway, we regularly take feedback and make improvements to keep it up to date and in line with current practice.
This apprenticeship is completely job-focused. Our goal is to develop the apprentice into an outstanding service designer.
