Apprenticeships
The apprenticeship for the marine industry is
a nationally recognised framework which gives a qualification for
those working in boat building, maintenance and repair; marine
engineering; electronics and engineering maintenance.
The Apprenticeship Framework consists of:
- National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at Level 2 or Level 3
(Advanced Apprenticeship).
- An “off the job” training course such as City & Guilds
- Key skills such as communication, IT and application of
number
Apprenticeships tend to be run through a registered training
provider or college who can help recruit apprentices, organise
training programmes and ensure an apprentice is on track and
meeting the certification requirements.
Recognised Apprenticeship Frameworks can attract public funding,
but this depends on the age and circumstances of the Apprentice.
The funding is designed to cover the cost of the training programme
and is not paid directly to the employer.
