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 Radiation Protection Monitoring is available at SCQF Level 5.
You will learn how to conduct regular checks and monitoring to ensure radiation protection complies with legislation and organisational policies. You will also learn how to monitor contamination levels and be part of an organisation's emergency response procedures.
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 but you must have a safety-orientated attitude. A trial observation period is recommended.
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 typically takes around 2 years to complete.
