What does the Apprenticeship involve?

HETA provides a service to the Engineering and Process industries located in the Yorkshire and Humber region by offering a full range of apprentice training. The apprenticeship training takes 3 - 4 years to complete and is recognised not only across the Humber Bank but also nationally. This is achieved through a programme that combines academic and practical work both on production sites and within training workshops.

This involves 26 - 46 weeks training for school, college leavers and other new recruits in the HETA workshops situated in Hull or Grimsby. The first 26 weeks of training are spent on the NVQ Level 2 – Performing Engineering Operations, followed by a specialisation in the relevant discipline. The training programme is made up of 3 mandatory units:

After the workshop training is completed, apprentices then move back into their own company and commence working towards the appropriate NVQ Level 3. HETA personnel conduct regular visits to review and ensure progress towards agreed targets. This is achieved by providing support, advice, guidance and counselling to apprentices, supervisors, assessors and training managers by regular monitoring visits at intervals of 4 - 6 weeks.

Apprentices will be monitored throughout their Engineering Apprenticeship until validation by the Awarding Body of an NVQ Level 3 or 4. It is also possible that an apprentice can progress onto Foundation Degree in year 2 of their apprenticeship.
