HOW TO
BECOME A PLUMBING APPRENTICE – NORTHERN IRELAND
A Modern Apprenticeship (MA) is a four-year training scheme,
which provides the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience
in your chosen trade, whilst gaining the knowledge and theory
needed to obtain a NVQ Level 3 at a designated college. Modern
Apprenticeships are based upon real jobs from day one, with
the emphasis on quality training provided by your employer.
You must have an employer from day one.
Training includes a mix of attendance
at a local college (off-the-job training) which leads to an
NVQ Level 3 and hands-on experience at an employer’s premises/site
(on-the-job training). Depending on the apprenticeship and qualification
undertaken, you will have a mix of College and work based training
over the first three years. You will be monitored by a PMST
Training Officer on a quarterly basis until you have achieved
your full NVQ qualification and Modern Apprenticeship.
Once you have completed your apprenticeship you can then look
forward to a life-long career in an increasingly technological
and fast-changing industry. The MA programme is designed to
train you in all aspects of your chosen career. All apprentices
are governed by the terms and conditions set by the various
bodies which oversee the plumbing & mechanical services
industry i.e. SNIJIB for the Plumbing Industry. |
