You will also be involved in station air velocity mitigations & cooling upgrade works.


There will be ten mandatory placements in total, with the first six placements being directed and the remaining four placements having a degree of flexibility allowing the apprentice to tailor this to the scheme.

Each placement has set learning objectives to support you in achieving the qualifications required for your apprenticeship.

At the end of the 3rd year, you will choose to specialise in either the Electrical or Mechanical sub-discipline, with university modules selected to match this decision.
