Modern Apprenticeships might be right for you if you prefer to learn from hands-on experience, and would prefer part time rather than full time study. Being able to earn while you learn is another plus point.
The Modern Apprenticeship in Facilities Management is available at SCQF Level 7.
You will learn the skills and knowledge necessary for managing building facilities, including organising maintenance of the property, grounds and systems, ensuring efficient use of energy and space and monitoring use of resources. You'll also develop customer care skills.
Anyone living in Scotland who is over school leaving age can apply. Sometimes employers set an upper age limit, as the Scottish Government doesn’t always fund training for those aged over 24.
You would check this with individual employers.
You will normally have completed the Modern Apprenticeship in Facilities Services at SCQF Level 5, or have other relevant experience or qualifications.
You will be able to see details in vacancies advertised.
You will achieve the relevant Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ), Diploma or other competency based qualification. In addition, you work towards core skills and complete industry specific training.
This apprenticeship will take between 1 - 2 years to complete.
If you start an apprenticeship at SCQF Level 5 or 6, you may be able to progress to a higher level, if available. You could also progress into a related job.
