Broadcast & Media Systems Technical Operator Apprenticeship (Level 3) at BBC.

The BBC is the UK's public service broadcaster, serving audiences across TV, audio and online.

This Level 3 apprenticeship trains technical operators who keep the BBC's broadcast equipment running, working in ingest hubs, galleries, studios, post-production areas or on location.

On-the-job activities could include camera operation, floor management, vision mixing, sound operations, technical directing, shoot/edit skills, picture and audio editing, and ingest and library functions.

Off-the-job training with a BBC-approved provider leads to a Level 3 qualification.

Most suited to non-graduates with little or no work experience in the area.

Maths and English GCSE at grade 4/C or above is required if you're under 19 at the start.

You must not hold Level 3+ qualifications in the subject, or an extended BTEC or degree in media, television, film, audio or radio production.

Can lead to roles such as Multi Skilled Technical Operator, Audio Operator, Camera Operator, Floor Manager, Graphics Assistant and Lighting Technician.

Benefits: 35-hour week, 25 days' holiday, defined pension scheme, discounted dental and health care and gym offers.

Must be 18+ when the apprenticeship starts, have the legal right to work in the UK for the full duration, normally have been a continuous UK resident for at least three years beforehand, and not be enrolled on another apprenticeship. 2027 placements are advertised separately by location, for example Southampton, on shift patterns to be confirmed.

Start date September 2027.
