General Information
Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is an on-the-job training scheme, which allows you to
earn while you learn and get qualified. An electrical apprenticeship takes
approximately three years to complete. Most of your training will take
place at work, with the rest at WelTec or another training provider. While
you can get your apprenticeship straight out of school, studying WelTec's
Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Industry Skills will count for a year
of your apprenticeship and may assist you to get a job. You will also learn
valuable additional skills to enhance your electrical career.

specialised facilities including a soldering lab, industrial electronics lab,
mechatronics lab, machine room and electrical workshop. You’ll be able
