Please note

You must have an employer in place to support this apprenticeship before starting it. If you need help finding one, we can help.

To successfully complete the apprenticeship, you will need both maths and English at grade 4 or above, or Functional Skills Level 2. If necessary, these can be studied at College alongside your apprenticeship.

The programme is co-ordinated through our North Harbour Campus over a period of 15 months and consists of classroom learning together with developing your skills and knowledge in the workplace.

You will build a portfolio of work and work-place assessors will be in regular contact to provide support, and to arrange on-site visits to observe your ability and skills in your daily role. It is important for you to take ownership of your own learning by seeking out opportunities to gain new skills on the job with your employer.

You and your employer will be enrolled on our award-winning e-Portfolio system OneFile to enable both parties to upload evidence of learning and to track progression through the programme.
