The Benefits of an Apprenticeship:

Apprenticeships offer great opportunities for people of all ages; an Apprenticeship is a job with training to industry standards, enabling you to enter a recognised occupation. All Apprenticeships are employer led, and as well as providing long term earnings, they also give you the ability to progress.
• You’ll earn a wage as you’re learning and are entitled to paid holidays.
• You can earn 10% more after studying on a Level 3 Apprenticeship than if you went straight in to work.
• 90% of apprentices remain in employment, either with their current employer or another company.
• 85% of employers participate in Apprenticeship programmes and consider them a good thing.
• You can train to post graduate level without incurring any university fees.
• By passing an independent End Point Assessment, you will join thousands of people acquiring a modern and recognised qualification.

The Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard incorporates a greater level of responsibility within your daily tasks and duties. Once accepted on to the Apprenticeship, you’ll study on a ‘release’ basis, spending occasional days at the College learning the knowledge that supports your Apprenticeship and the majority of your working days with your employer.
During your Apprenticeship, you will be trained and assessed in a variety of specialisms within the automotive industry. The exact areas covered will vary according to the focus of your course and the needs and demands of your employer. Typical areas covered include:
• Assessing faults
• Preparing job cards and assessment reports
• Accessing and removing mechanical and electrical components
• Removing and fitting non-structural body panels
• Removing and re-installing mechanical and electrical systems
• Vehicle valeting

To complete an Apprenticeship you will need an employer who is willing to support you throughout your training. If you have not found one, we can help you with your search.

You will need GCSE maths & English at Level 4 and/or a thorough knowledge of your chosen sector.

We’d like to see a proven track record of very good attendance at work/school, along with a good reference from school/a previous employer. We also ask that you have a satisfactory level of English and maths.

You’ll be assessed throughout your learning programme by a mixture of formal tests, workplace observations, portfolio building and self-assessment.
