Apprenticeship profiles

Jason reveals the best thing about the scheme:

The Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme was a great opportunity for me to become a multi-skilled worker in a solid company. The first year was basically all elementary learning, including subjects like maths. The apprenticeship scheme really kicks into gear in the second and third years when you’re based at your depot and getting first-hand experience of the railway. This - combined with two-week courses back at HMS Sultan - and your work-based learning objectives and NVQ reports, give you good experience and a great insight into the work you will be doing once you qualify.

I’m now in my third year and it’s really hectic and non-stop learning. The good thing about working in this industry is that every day is different and you learn something new all the time.
