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.
You’ll gain an EAL Awards CBQ in Gas Engineering at SCQF Level 6.
Apprentices may continue to work as a competent craftsperson in their current job role for the rest of their careers. However, they can also progress horizontally within the sector to complete qualifications or units at the same level relevant to their job role. Where appropriate, progress to higher level qualifications and/or higher-level work within the sector, for example to supervisory and managerial roles.
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 this apprenticeship, however you must be in a job role that supports the completion of the CBQ in the pathway you have chosen to complete and should be assessed as having the ability to complete all components of the framework prior to registration.
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 12 to 24 months 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.
