Why do a Modern Apprenticeship?

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.

Levels Available

The Modern Apprenticeship in Glass Industry Occupations is available at the following levels:

You would train in one of four pathways to develop skills in producing glass products such as containers, glass windows and doors, vehicle windscreens or specialist items such as fibre and optical glass.

Who Can Apply?

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.

There are no formal entry requirements for entry to SCQF Level 5 but for entry to SCQF Level 6 you should have already completed the SCQF Level 5 apprenticeship or have some industry experience.

Qualifications Gained

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.

Duration

This apprenticeship will take between 1-2 years to complete.
