What are the aims of this course?

Apprenticeships allow 16+ year olds to start work and earn a wage, while learning new skills that lead to nationally recognised qualifications. Advanced Apprenticeships are designed with the help of employers in the industry, so they offer a structured programme that takes apprentices through the skills needed to do a job well. An apprentice's training takes place on the job but they will also have to complete off-the-job training within college by day release. Electrotechnical apprentices work towards a work-based qualification in electrical installation.

The course covers the following:
- Health and safety legislation
- Environmental legislation
- Practices and procedures for overseeing and organising the work environment

How is the course assessed?

The Apprenticeship is assessed through online theory exams and assignment work which are taken after the completion of each unit studied, in addition to practical assessments, and work-based evidence compiled as a portfolio.

At the end of the programme apprentices will have achieved:
- City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment
