Are you interested in becoming an apprentice?
How does it work?
Apprentices spend 80% of their time in the workplace learning on the job from their more experienced colleagues. The remaining 20% of your time will be spent learning from our Trainers and filling in your apprenticeship workbooks. Workbooks contain questions that you must answer in order to prove your understanding of engineering and gain your qualifications. Apprenticeships are an opportunity to get your foot in the door of medical engineering with limited qualifications and experience. If you work hard and impress your employer they’ll likely take you on permanently after completing your apprenticeship.
Apprenticeships generally take between 12 and 36 months to complete depending on which level you chose.
Benefits
Gain engineering qualifications
Whether you’re new to medical engineering or already hold an engineering position an apprenticeship will give you the opportunity to gain industry recognised qualifications that will help you get a job.
Earn while you learn
As an apprentice, you’ll actually be paid to learn! Your employer will give you time during work hours to complete your apprenticeship course work. They’ll also teach you practical skills whilst on the job.
Training at no cost to you
Apprenticeships are funded by the apprenticeship levy and your employer meaning the apprentice has no costs to pay. A much more cost effective way of earning qualifications when compared to university tuition fees.
Employers value practical experience
Apprenticeships combine academic learning with practical, on the job experience to produce a more rounded education. Don’t underestimate how much employers value practical work experience when recruiting employees.
