Training:

This programme is delivered through a block release model to minimise disruption to the business. Apprentices attend college in planned block weeks throughout the programme, rather than a weekly day release. This allows them to remain fully embedded in the workplace for longer periods, while still completing the required off-the-job training. The programme is designed to be completed in an accelerated timeframe, with structured college blocks and a final end-point assessment phase.

Training Outcome:

On successful completion of the apprenticeship, the apprentice will be considered for a full-time role with Wilson Services Ltd, subject to performance and business needs, with opportunities for continued skill development and progression within the company.
