A Technical Trades Apprenticeship is four years in duration. With today’s modern vehicle it is recognised that training in a combination of mechanical and electrical systems is essential. To ensure that adequate training on both systems is provided we take Apprentices through four NVQs i.e. Mechanical and Electrical at level 2, Mechanical and Electrical at level 3.

This approach is designed to equip our Apprentices with the knowhow and skills required for the future and to instil confidence in the Apprentice ensuring they are competent in both trades.

Apprentices attend college one day per week with the remaining four days spent at a Translink workshop where the college training is put into practice.
