The apprenticeship begins with the Level 3 Gas Engineering programme, delivered over 18 months using a structured block-release model.

Mentors support apprentices to observe, practise, and reflect on tasks linked directly to their learning, allowing skills and understanding to be embedded over time. Apprentices also complete structured workplace activities and portfolio evidence to demonstrate ongoing progress.

Employer Description:Established in 1969, Formula One Autocentres set out with a mission to deliver a completely new fast-fit experience to its customers. This would feature clean, modern premises, high-tech equipment and highly trained technicians; far removed from the kind of service normally associated with the industry. Over fifty years down the line, we have grown to become one of the UK’s largest independent autocentre chains. The business remains family owned and continues to uphold its original commitment to delivering the highest quality service at the most competitive prices. That commitment has proved incredibly popular with motorists, creating many thousands of loyal customers who continue to put their trust in Formula One Autocentres. As a result, the company has gone from strength to strength, currently boasting over 130 state-of-the-art branches across England, with over 800 highly trained staff working seven days a week to provide a full range of services including tyres, exhausts, batteries, brakes, clutches, MOT's and servicing. We remain resolutely independent, and as a family-owned business, avoid being tied down to any single manufacturer or supplier. This gives us the freedom and flexibility to offer the biggest deals on the widest possible range of top branded products, making the company a viable, attractive and cost-effective alternative to both the big national chains and smaller local independent outlets. Quite simply, Formula One Autocentres provides cost-conscious motorists with the most reliable and affordable means of maintaining their vehicles.Working Hours :5 Days a week (Monday - Saturday, dependent on shift pattern) 09:00 - 17:00.Skills: Communication skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Team working....Read more...
