How is the learning structured during the Apprenticeship?

The Apprenticeship will last for approximately two and a half years. For two years you will be given structured training at one of our training centres, in Sheffiled, Slough and Hinckley.

The training will be a combination of practical training in blocks of up to two weeks. During these two week periods, you will be required to stay near to the training centre, and we will provide hotel accomodation and cover costs to enable you to do this. After a two week block at the training centre, you will spend up to six weeks with a trained Heating Technician, who will be your mentor during the Apprenticeship. You will accompany them on scheduled installations and maintenace calls to our customer’s homes.

During the two year period you will cover all aspects of the Low Carbon Heating Technician Apprenticeship standard. At the end of two years you will spend up to four months undertaking your end-point assessment. By the time that you have completed your end-point assessment you will be fully competent and be able to undertake work on your own in customer homes.
