| |||||||||||||||||
About the CourseThis Apprenticeship covers a range of occupations within hospitality and catering, one of the largest industries in the country. Hospitality and catering covers work in restaurants, hotels and holiday accommodation, cafés, pubs, and contract caterers – it also supplies other industries with food and drink. Schools, colleges, hospitals and large businesses nearly always have canteens and catering staff, too. To reflect the many career options on offer, this Apprenticeship has several pathways. If you’re interested in working ‘front of house’, you could train as waiting staff and learn how to serve customers, or train in drinks service – one of the fastest growing sub-sectors. Apprentices interested in cookery could either train as a chef in a restaurant, or learn how to cook on a large scale for institutions like the NHS or armed forces. You could work in all sorts of kitchens, from fine-dining to chain restaurants through to gastro-pubs. There are specialist pathways to cover all kinds of fare, including Bangladeshi, Thai, Chinese, and Indian. Apprentices more interested in the hospitality side of the sector could work in a hotel reception area; learn to run a B&B or youth hostel; or keep a hotel crisp and clean. Successful completion of the Advanced Level Apprenticeship could lead to management or supervisory roles.
Advanced Level Apprenticeship
Course ContentApprenticeships are designed with the help of the employers in the industry, so they offer a structured programme that takes you through the skills you need to do a job well. There are targets and checks to make sure that your employer is supporting you and you are making progress. As an employee you will be in employment for most of your time as most training takes place on the job. The rest usually takes place at a local college or a specialist training organisation. You can complete this off-the-job training on day release or over a number of days in a block. The amount of time you spend varies according to your Apprenticeship. It could be anything from one day every other fortnight to two days every week. So all the things you study will be useful in your job and help you succeed in your future career. Your employment will be for at least 30 hours per week. There may be a small number of circumstances where the learner cannot complete the full 30 hours. In these cases employment will be for more than 16 hours per week. Entry RequirementsApprenticeships are open to all age groups above 16years-old whether you are just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career. You just need to be living in England and not taking part in full-time education. There may be different entry requirements depending on the Apprenticeship and the industry sector. However competition for places with employers can be fierce, so you will need to show that you are committed, and aware of your responsibilities to both yourself and the company who would employ you. You also need to be happy to work as both part of a team and individually, and be able to use your own initiative. Learning StyleApprenticeships suit all learning styles as they are designed to work around you and your needs. All Apprenticeships contain some classroom or group learning, one to one learning and support in the workplace and some self-study or theory learning.
Getting qualified while on the job can also mean: - It can set you up to move into new and better jobs - You get better pay - You get to experience new and different challenges - Your existing skills and knowledge are recognised - You learn at your own pace and get support when you need it - Better job security - You gain skills and knowledge which can be used across a range of jobs and industries
Equipment RequirementsAny equipment required in the workplace should be provided for you by your employer. There may be a requirement for equipment to use in college or in your training centre depending on the requirements of your Apprenticeship. This will be discussed with you by the Apprenticeship Coordinator who will meet with you to complete the paperwork to enrol you on your Apprenticeship Programme. AssessmentAll Apprenticeships must include the following elements: A competencies qualification which must be achieved by the apprentice to qualify for an Apprenticeship certificate, and which is the qualification required to demonstrate competence in performing the skill, trade or occupation to which the framework relates A technical knowledge qualification which is the qualification required to demonstrate achievement of the technical skills, knowledge and understanding of theoretical concepts and knowledge and understanding of the industry and its market relevant to the skill, trade or occupation to which the framework relates. Sometimes an Apprenticeship framework may have an integrated qualification which combines competence and technical knowledge elements in which each element is separately assessed. Either Key Skills (e.g. working in teams, problem-solving, communication and using new technology) or Functional Skills (e.g. Maths and English) qualifications or a GCSE with enhanced content (e.g. Maths and English). ProgressionCareer progression is excellent for apprentices, and over the course of their careers, those with an Apprenticeship earn, on average, £100,000 more than those without. Some Apprenticeships already attract UCAS points or allow you to study for a Technical Certificate. Once the Apprenticeship has finished there’s the opportunity to carry on working, maybe get promoted or go on to higher education in a college or university. Additional InformationDo I get paid? The National Minimum Wage (NMW) for apprentices is £2.60 per hour*. However, as skills develop, many employers tend to increase wages – in fact, research has found that apprentices earn an average of £170 net pay per week The apprentice NMW applies to all 16 to 18 year olds and to those aged 19 and over in the first year of their Apprenticeship. If the apprentice reaches 19 years-old and has completed the first year of their Apprenticeship their employer must pay them at least the full NMW rate for those aged 18 to 20. If they are already 19 and have completed the first year of their Apprenticeship they must be paid at least the NMW rate for their age.

|
| |||||||||||||||||
About the CourseThe Gas Industry Intermediate Level and Advanced Level Apprenticeships cover a range of job roles in the industry. They enable you to train to work in the installation, service and repair of domestic gas appliances. These appliances could include boilers, cookers, central heating systems and fires. Gas installation/service technicians are trained to connect appliances to gas supplies and ensure that everything’s safe, and deal with leaks according to strict safety requirements. As an apprentice, you’ll assist a gas engineer and learn how to install and maintain gas appliances, working towards registration on the Gas Safe Register – a requirement for anyone performing work on gas appliances. The Apprenticeship also covers other aspects of the job, such as systems design, customer service, tools and materials. On the Advanced Level Apprenticeship, you’ll learn to work on more complex systems. Advanced Level apprentices will have the option to follow the emergency services path, learning to respond to an emergency, assess the situation and make the necessary repairs. The Intermediate Level Apprenticeship also provides opportunities to work on the national transmission system that transports gas across the country from “beach to burner”. You could learn the skills and knowledge required to lay and maintain gas mains and service pipes. As well as technical ability, you need to be good with people, who will want to feel that everything is being done safely. You’ll also need some computer skills, because safety and maintenance records must be kept up-to-date. Apprenticeships are the ideal way into this industry because of their technical content and all the safety requirements of the job – there’s no room for mistakes.

About the CourseThe Gas Industry Intermediate Level and Advanced Level Apprenticeships cover a range of job roles in the industry. They enable you to train to work in the installation, service and repair of domestic gas appliances. These appliances could include boilers, cookers, central heating systems and fires. Gas installation/service technicians are trained to connect appliances to gas supplies and ensure that everything’s safe, and deal with leaks according to strict safety requirements. As an apprentice, you’ll assist a gas engineer and learn how to install and maintain gas appliances, working towards registration on the Gas Safe Register – a requirement for anyone performing work on gas appliances. The Apprenticeship also covers other aspects of the job, such as systems design, customer service, tools and materials. On the Advanced Level Apprenticeship, you’ll learn to work on more complex systems. Advanced Level apprentices will have the option to follow the emergency services path, learning to respond to an emergency, assess the situation and make the necessary repairs. The Intermediate Level Apprenticeship also provides opportunities to work on the national transmission system that transports gas across the country from “beach to burner”. You could learn the skills and knowledge required to lay and maintain gas mains and service pipes. As well as technical ability, you need to be good with people, who will want to feel that everything is being done safely. You’ll also need some computer skills, because safety and maintenance records must be kept up-to-date. Apprenticeships are the ideal way into this industry because of their technical content and all the safety requirements of the job – there’s no room for mistakes.

Course ContentApprenticeships are designed with the help of the employers in the industry, so they offer a structured programme that takes you through the skills you need to do a job well. There are targets and checks to make sure that your employer is supporting you and you are making progress. As an employee you will be in employment for most of your time as most training takes place on the job. The rest usually takes place at a local college or a specialist training organisation. You can complete this off-the-job training on day release or over a number of days in a block. The amount of time you spend varies according to your Apprenticeship. It could be anything from one day every other fortnight to two days every week. So all the things you study will be useful in your job and help you succeed in your future career. Your employment will be for at least 30 hours per week. There may be a small number of circumstances where the learner cannot complete the full 30 hours. In these cases employment will be for more than 16 hours per week. Entry RequirementsApprenticeships are open to all age groups above 16years-old whether you are just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career. You just need to be living in England and not taking part in full-time education. There may be different entry requirements depending on the Apprenticeship and the industry sector. However competition for places with employers can be fierce, so you will need to show that you are committed, and aware of your responsibilities to both yourself and the company who would employ you. You also need to be happy to work as both part of a team and individually, and be able to use your own initiative. Learning StyleApprenticeships suit all learning styles as they are designed to work around you and your needs. All Apprenticeships contain some classroom or group learning, one to one learning and support in the workplace and some self-study or theory learning.
Getting qualified while on the job can also mean: - It can set you up to move into new and better jobs - You get better pay - You get to experience new and different challenges - Your existing skills and knowledge are recognised - You learn at your own pace and get support when you need it - Better job security - You gain skills and knowledge which can be used across a range of jobs and industries Equipment RequirementsAny equipment required in the workplace should be provided for you by your employer. There may be a requirement for equipment to use in college or in your training centre depending on the requirements of your Apprenticeship. This will be discussed with you by the Apprenticeship Coordinator who will meet with you to complete the paperwork to enrol you on your Apprenticeship Programme. AssessmentAll Apprenticeships must include the following elements: A competencies qualification which must be achieved by the apprentice to qualify for an Apprenticeship certificate, and which is the qualification required to demonstrate competence in performing the skill, trade or occupation to which the framework relates A technical knowledge qualification which is the qualification required to demonstrate achievement of the technical skills, knowledge and understanding of theoretical concepts and knowledge and understanding of the industry and its market relevant to the skill, trade or occupation to which the framework relates. Sometimes an Apprenticeship framework may have an integrated qualification which combines competence and technical knowledge elements in which each element is separately assessed. Either Key Skills (e.g. working in teams, problem-solving, communication and using new technology) or Functional Skills (e.g. Maths and English) qualifications or a GCSE with enhanced content (e.g. Maths and English). ProgressionCareer progression is excellent for apprentices, and over the course of their careers, those with an Apprenticeship earn, on average, £100,000 more than those without. Some Apprenticeships already attract UCAS points or allow you to study for a Technical Certificate. Once the Apprenticeship has finished there’s the opportunity to carry on working, maybe get promoted or go on to higher education in a college or university.
Additional InformationDo I get paid? The National Minimum Wage (NMW) for apprentices is £2.60 per hour*.

If the apprentice reaches 19 years-old and has completed the first year of their Apprenticeship their employer must pay them at least the full NMW rate for those aged 18 to 20.
