You will be working with experienced trade specialists towards gaining a nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification through on and off the job training. It mixes college learning with practical on-site training with experienced trade specialists, and a programme that goes well beyond the standard syllabus.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

As an apprentice, you'll work at a company and gets hands-on experience. You'll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.

You’ll learn both on the job and during intensive residential training weeks  accommodation, travel and subsistence is paid for during the block weeks and you'll start off with three weeks in college, returning home each weekend. This will prepare you to fully contribute as soon as you get on site.

You will then return to college approximately every 20 weeks, for a two-week block of intensive training - where you'll be learning all the time. At the end of your intermediate apprenticeship, you'll have more experience and valuable job skills, plus a nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification - but that is just the beginning!
