Transport Planning Level 3 Apprenticeship

As an apprentice, your three-year development programme will be made up of at least five six-month placement rotations. Our aim is to equip you with the range of skills and experience you need for your successful career. We also understand that everyone’s career is different, so every apprentice’s journey is unique. Here’s an idea of some placements you could complete:

Planning Projects – conducting research and data analysis to support some of London’s major growth and redevelopment projects and ensure these contribute to a sustainable transport system.

Investment Delivery Planning – overseeing the delivery of projects on TfL’s own road network and other assets and working with boroughs to deliver change on their own highways and transport networks.

Network Performance Delivery – monitoring and adjusting traffic signal timings in real-time across London; collecting data and constructing computer models to test new scenarios and proposals on TfL roads.

The above are just a few examples, and we also offer placements in a range of different areas such as Strategic Demand Forecast Modelling, Geographic Information Systems, and Development Planning, amongst others.  Placements are flexible, taking into account business needs and each apprentice’s unique strengths, interests and study requirements.

  

Training:

You’ll be working towards a Level 3 BTEC Transport Planning Technician qualification.  Typically, you’ll be required to attend college four times per year, in blocks of 1-2 weeks which may be held outside of London.

We’ll also support your professional development through a combination of online training courses, mentoring and structured networking opportunities. You’ll receive one-to-one support throughout the programme from your scheme sponsor and your line manager. You’ll also be connected to a ‘buddy’ who will be a more experienced apprentice from the scheme.

You’ll also have opportunities to complete additional training courses. These will vary from soft skills training to technical skills training.  

Our award-winning teams will support your ongoing development, through a wide range of on-the-job practical experience and placements. We'll support your professional development through a combination of training, mentoring, and networking.
