Apprenticeships

What’s involved in the Apprenticeship?

Apprentices are employed full time (at least 30 hours per week) and will have a contract of employment that covers at least the duration of the Apprenticeship. The training takes place at the North London Garages training centre on a day release from work. The Apprentice will earn a salary paid weekly or monthly and receive a minimum 20 days paid holiday each year.

What types of Apprenticeships are there?

NLGGTA currently offer two types of Motor Vehicle Apprenticeships:

• Level 2 Autocare Technician Standard

• Level 3 Motor Vehicle Service and Maintenance Technician Standard

• Level 3 Heavy Vehicle Service and Maintenance Technician Standard (Coming soon)

Apprenticeship standards are employer-led, meaning that employers can specify exactly what's required from an apprentice in each specific role. Employer groups developing these standards are known as ‘trailblazers’. The NLGGTA Automotive Apprenticeship involves technical study at college one day each week and in addition Functional skills, English and maths is also delivered.

Apprentices learn on the job; the standards outline the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) required to carry out a certain job role. All apprentices must take an independent assessment at the end of their training to demonstrate the KSBs set out in the occupational standard have been competently achieved.
