Apprenticeships in Scotland
What does this involve?
A modern apprenticeship is a work-based training programme that offers you paid employment while you learn
During your apprenticeship you will gain valuable work experience to develop all the practical and technical skills you will need to become a competent building services engineer while you work towards a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) Level 3 qualification.
In addition to training for specific jobs, modern apprentices also gain core skills and other qualifications. Above all it is very important that both you and your employer make a commitment to complete the full course of training.
