What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
As part of the JTL Plumbing and Domestic Heating Technician apprenticeship, you'll be in full time employment with a local company receiving a decent wage from day one. You'll spend time learning your trade by gaining hands-on experience working on-site with your employer, as well as attending a JTL approved college or training centre to learn the theoretical knowledge you will need.
You will be working towards a level 3 apprenticeship. The apprenticeship comprises the following qualifications:
• City & Guilds or BPEC Level 3 Plumbing and Domestic Heating Qualification
• Industry certifications specific to fuel type
• Functional skills may be required to be undertaken at the following levels if you do not have equivalent qualifications (such as GCSEs) at time of starting the apprenticeship: Level 2 English and Level 2 Maths
Once you have successfully completed the training and qualifications, JTL and your employer will decide when you are ready to take the End Point Assessment (EPA). The EPA for this apprenticeship consists of a multiple-choice test, a design project, a practical installation test, a practical application test and a professional discussion.
What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?
The advertised apprentice wage will increase yearly or upon completion of progressive stages. After initially qualifying, you could go on to supervisory roles, senior management positions or even running your own business.
