Rail Engineering Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are an effective way for a business to develop the skilled staff it needs. They provide a structured programme of qualifications, aided by funding from the government. For individuals, they provide the opportunity to combine paid work with study to gain qualifications.
The time to complete an apprenticeship depends on the ability of the apprentice, the employer’s requirements, the type of work they do, and level of qualification. Completion can take up to between one and three years.
