Apprenticeships What is an Apprenticeship?

What is an Apprenticeship Framework?

An Apprenticeship is ideal if you know which career path you want to follow, but you don’t want to study in full time education and you would like to earn a salary whilst learning.

An Apprenticeship is a set of qualifications that make up a framework.

All Apprenticeships are developed by the industry sector in which they will be used and give learners the skills they need to become a craftsperson, technician or manager in that area.

Depending on the course, you will either attend College once a week or on a block basis where you will attend between 2-4 weeks depending on the course chosen. The remaining time will be spent in the workplace. You will be working towards achieving an Apprenticeship Framework.

As an apprentice you are required to complete the following qualifications, which make up the Apprenticeship Framework: • Work based learning qualification such as a Level 2 NVQ • Functional Skills • Knowledge based qualification such as a BTEC Diploma (Technical Certificate) Additionally apprentices will complete Employment Rights and Responsibilities and any occupationally specific training such as Abrasive Wheels or First Aid. There is potential once learners have completed their Apprenticeship to then continue onto the Advanced Apprenticeship.

What is an Advanced Apprenticeship Advanced Apprenticeships are similar to Apprenticeships but at a higher level, normally Level 3 NVQ and a higher level knowledge based qualification.

Some apprentices will be registered on an Advanced Apprenticeship from day one, these include building services engineering, civil engineering, electrical, facilities management, gas installation and maintenance and surveying.

We run a comprehensive range of accredited and non-accredited short courses, designed to support businesses with maintaining quality and regulatory standards within their workforce.

OSAT helps experienced workers get the qualifications to prove they can do the job.

• Computer Aided Design (CAD)

It turns their existing skills and experience into a nationally recognised qualification such as an NVQ or SVQ. Having these qualifications also helps qualify them for a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card. Assessment can be carried out on site, so attendance at College is not required.

Short courses are available in the following areas: • Gas, Plumbing, Refrigeration (ACS, BPEC, F-Gas) • Electrical (AM2, PAT, 17th Edition) • Health and Safety (IOSH, NEBOSH, First Aid, Manual Handling) • Woodmachining

Apprenticeships Apprenticeships are a great way for you to grow your business without the large costs usually associated with recruitment. The current National minimum wage for apprentices is £2.65 per hour, and for 16-18 year olds it is free to send them to College. The current costs for over 19’s are £495 if your business employs less than 1,000 and £995 if you employ over 1,000.
