Entry Requirements:

Applicants must be employed as an apprentice at time of enrolment.

Duration:

The course is delivered both on and off the job. The total duration for this full time course is 970 nominal hours*.

*All Apprenticeships have a nominal term - this is the timeframe that is on the Apprenticeship training contract. The nominal hour total is the amount of time that it's reasonably expected that someone could become competent and complete their Apprenticeship. This figure is a guideline and does not restrict their learning progress.
