An apprenticeship is a work-based learning programme, where you earn while you learn.
It builds industry-specific knowledge, skills, and behaviours through on and off the job training to make sure you are competent in your role.
An end-point assessment ensures competency.
All apprentices must achieve Functional Skills in Math's and English, if not already held.
We have partnered with SMB College to deliver the 3-year Lift Truck and Powered Access Engineering Technician Apprenticeship (Level 3).
Over the three years, apprentices spend a target 24 weeks in training (excluding end point assessment) at SMB College in Leicester.
This training is arranged into two-week blocks, Monday to Friday.
Applicants must be willing and able to travel to complete their college study.Progression routes could include qualified engineer, technical or specialist roles.
Tasks and Qualifications:Practical training Training is made up of on-the-job and off-the-job training.
80% of the apprenticeship will be spent working with your employer.
20% of the time will be allocated to off-the-job training: this will be a mixture of college blocks, internal training, assignments and revision.From one of our current apprenticesMillie Marpole, Forklift Apprentice at Linde Material Handling, said "I wanted to do Forklift Training because I wanted to do something with my hands, I've never been strong when it comes to computers or technology.
The advice I would give to new apprentices is to make sure you focus and work hard, if you don't know something just ask and someone can always help you."
