WHAT IS AN ADVANCED APPRENTICESHIP ? Advanced Apprenticeships give young people an important choice, the choice between traditional higher education or a training programme which enables them to gain the higher level skills, and qualifications required by modern manufacturing industry. Waterside Training work with leading companies who have total commitment to top quality training. Each apprentice signs an Apprenticeship Agreement with Waterside (the employer) and their Sponsoring Company along with their parents for all round support. This sets out the training programme that will develop the apprentice to his / her full potential. During the Apprenticeship, Waterside Training will employ you on behalf of a sponsoring company. Although a permanent position cannot be guaranteed by the sponsoring company from the outset, a permanent position may be offered to the apprentice on completion of their training. If this is not possible, Waterside Training will help you use the many skills you gain during your apprenticeship to seek work with other companies or to pursue a career elsewhere. As an Advanced Apprentice with Waterside you will have the opportunity to: - • Be employed and earn a wage from day one • Gain high quality skills (to National Vocational Standards) • Achieve further and higher education qualifications • Be supported throughout your training by a professional and expert team • Gather a range of skills and qualifications that will provide you with an excellent foundation for your future FURTHER EDUCATION It is essential to have a sound understanding of the theoretical principles underlying your chosen apprenticeship as well as a high standard of practical ability. Your continuing education is an essential part of any Advanced Apprenticeship training programme. Therefore, you will be required to attend St Helens College or other venues on a day-release basis for an appropriate course of study in line with the sponsoring company’s requirements. We require the candidate to be committed at all times to a line of study while undertaking their apprenticeship. The courses you study will lead to nationally recognised further and higher education qualifications. You will undertake a National Certificate, which will usually be followed by a HNC / HND. The minimum we would require you to undertake is a National Certificate. Further Education is an important aspect of the apprenticeship and apprentices must attend courses at appropriate establishments as may be decided by the Company. The courses will involve attendance both during normal working hours and in the evening, without extra payment or time off in lieu. At Waterside we believe that your Further Education is as important as your vocational (site) training which is also supported by all of our Sponsoring Companies. 6
