Training:The Customer Service Specialist Level 3 apprenticeship for the Customer-Focused Engineering Stores Apprentice at Hayley Dexis is a 12-18 month programme designed to develop customer service expertise alongside practical engineering stores skills in a live manufacturing environment.
The programme begins with an induction phase, where apprentices learn health and safety, site processes, and the fundamentals of engineering stores operations. They shadow experienced colleagues and carry out basic tasks At the same time, they build core customer service skills
As they progress, apprentices take on more responsibility for day-to-day activities such as stock control, stock checks, ordering, and procurement support. Customer interaction becomes central, as they respond to engineer requests, manage expectations, and build strong working relationships in a fast-paced environment. Structured off-the-job learning supports this, focusing on communication, problem-solving, and customer journey awareness, alongside small improvement tasks within the stores.
In the advanced stage, apprentices develop greater independence, managing stock levels, liaising with suppliers, and contributing to operational efficiency and reduced downtime. They handle more complex customer interactions, resolve issues, and take part in improvement projects focused on cost control, efficiency, and service quality.
Throughout the apprenticeship, learners are supported by Nova Training, where they will have a dedicated coach who provides remote guidance, coaching, and structured learning. The coach will set tasks aligned to the apprenticeship standard, review progress, and support the apprentice in building their portfolio and preparing for assessment.
The final stage focuses on End-Point Assessment preparation, where apprentices consolidate their skills, complete a portfolio of evidence, and undertake mock assessments.
Overall, the programme combines 80% on-the-job learning with 20% off-the-job training, developing key skills in customer service, stock management, and continuous improvement, while providing a clear pathway into roles such as stores controller, account manager, or operations supervisor.Training Outcome:
Clear progression into permanent and senior roles
