Is the Course for Me?
To succeed in an Advanced Apprenticeship programme you need to be focused on the career you have chosen; you might even want to gain some work experience in your chosen field before you start your course. You will need to be prepared to work hard both within the workplace and at College so that you get the best out of the opportunities to learn.

Ideally you will have already found employment with an employer who is willing to support you through the Advanced Apprenticeship programme. If you haven't already found an employer then the College will support you in looking for suitable employment.

You must be in employment in order to undertake an Advanced Apprenticeship programme.

Entry requirements for Advanced Apprenticeships in Electrotechnical are 3 GCSE's at Grade C or above including Maths and Science or an NVQ Level 2 in Performing Engineering Operations. Learners without these qualifications but with appropriate practical skills and employment will be considered. You must be keen to work and keen to learn.

How will I Study?
You will normally attend College 1 day per week to learn the underpinning knowledge required for your framework components. Practical skills will be developed through a combination of study at College and of activities that you will undertake from your workplace.

Assessment will be via observation, written tests and assignments. You will be required to compile evidence for your NVQ portfolio in the workplace.

How will my Progress be Measured?
Your progress on the programme will be reviewed a minimum of every 10 - 12 weeks. This is normally done in your workplace. Targets will be set that reflect your individual needs. Previous learning, training and experience can be taken into consideration.

Progression
On completion of an Advanced Apprenticeship your career prospects will have significantly improved and you can progress to supervisory or management positions in the industry. You might also choose to progress to further study with a HND or Foundation Degree.

Equipment Required:
Safety footwear, overalls, stationery and text book, total cost approximately £100
