What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?

Training is delivered in the workplace and via seven weekly college training blocks per year at S&B's specialist Automotive Academy in Bristol.

The apprentice will be assigned a workplace mentor and a S&B development coach who will offer support, advice, and guidance by monitoring progress via S&B’s purposely developed eLogbook that all parties can access any time.

Apprentices take a Gateway Assessment at the end of every year to progress until the completion of the End Point Assessment.

If an apprentice faces a daily commute to S&B’s Academy that is not viable whilst on a weekly training block, the apprentice can arrange with the employer to stay in hotel accommodation at the Hilton Garden Inn. All costs for accommodation including breakfast and a two-course evening meal are met by the employer and there will be no cost to you.
