Training:

Apprentices will undertake a Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard programme. This will include a full-time period of practical workshop based ‘off-the-job’ training at SETA’s Apprenticeship Centre in Southampton.

You will also undertake aspects of a knowledge qualification (depending on your prior attainments) where you will attend SETA on a day release to complete agreed theory units to enhance your knowledge.

After your initial training at SETA, you will be with your employer working on developing your skills; ultimately leading to being able to demonstrate all the skills and knowledge identified in the apprenticeship standard.

SETA will make regular visits during your time in the workplace to ensure you are developing all the required skills within the
Standard, including the specified behaviours and checking

your theory knowledge via professional discussions. 

To achieve full certification after all of your training the apprenticeship culminates in your End Point Assessment (EPA), these final tests are administered by an independent assessment organisation and take place in the last three months of the apprenticeship.



Training Outcome:

Travel to and from SETA training and workplace.  
  
Full training will be given but we expect our Apprentices to maintain our rigorous standards. 
  
Dependant on your circumstances it may be possible to begin working at FourTees earlier than the start date at SETA in September
