Training schedule

On-the-job training will be delivered by Schneider Electric, your employer. You’ll receive training and supervision to help you perform your role. This will include skills and knowledge that are outside of the apprenticeship but necessary for the job. In addition to ‘on-the-job’ training, they will support you in other ways to ensure your success.
Types of support will include:

- Mentoring or regular one-to-one guidance
- Social enrichment and networking opportunities

Off-the-job training will be provided by a carefully selected training provider during your normal working hours.

This training will teach you the knowledge, skills, and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard, enabling you to achieve occupational competence.
