Technical Apprenticeships The Technical Apprentice scheme provides
a variety of experiences in both technical and non-technical disciplines.
Apprenticeships last between two and four years.
In the first year of the programme, you will attend college to undertake a
Performing Engineering Operations Level 2 qualification and the first year of
the National Certificate (NC), Higher National Certificate (HNC) or
Vocationally Related Qualifications (VRQ) depending on your chosen Apprentice
scheme.
After your first year, you will attend college on day release to complete an
NC, HNC or VRQ (again depending on your chosen Apprentice scheme), and begin
National/Scottish Vocational Qualification (N/SVQ) level 3 and Key Skills/Core
Skills level 3 in the workplace. You will probably work towards your Higher
National Certificate on day release and attend in-company training programmes
to develop specific skills and knowledge related to the various operations and
projects.
| | Benefits |
During the scheme, you will gain a good overview of the
business through a variety of work placements. These will see you designing and
building systems, supporting engineering functions, and carrying out
comprehensive testing and reporting.
Not all placements are practical and hands-on: research for example, involves
report writing and data analysis to support and develop engineering activities.
Once you have finished the placement tour and completed the Apprenticeship
programme, you will be in an excellent position to move in to a permanent role
and follow your chosen career path.
