What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
Radio network technician Level 3
Your apprenticeship is made up of learning on the job, but also gaining the academic skills to put into practice in your day-to-day job. As a result, you'll complete the apprenticeship as part of a structured learning programme alongside working in the role. The learning programme is made up of a suite of modules and milestones and you’ll be required to evidence your work against these modules via tasks and assignments. For some apprenticeships, you may also undertake additional technical qualifications, which include studying for, and taking an exam. Once you have completed your modules and milestones, you’ll then move to your End Point Assessment (EPA) which is typically made up of an interview and a project. Once you pass this stage, you will receive your apprenticeship qualification with us.
What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?
All our apprenticeships lead to permanent roles, so once you have successfully completed the scheme, you will have a role in the team waiting for you.
