An engineering apprenticeship consists of three types of training, “on the job”, “block courses” and “off the job” training.
While completing on the job training our apprentices will be paid for all hours worked. The typical work day is eight hours, however, additional hours can be worked where required by workshop projects.
Block courses will be completed throughout the duration of your apprenticeship. As these courses are normally run during normal working hours these will be treated as working time.
Off the Job training is taught by e-learning and it is suggested that apprentices should allow a minimum of 200 hours per year, outside of normal working hours, to complete.
In total an apprenticeship takes 8000 hours, approximately four years. With evidence of the completion of related studies an apprenticeship may be awarded as early as 6000 hours.
