Hi
At UHB NHS Trust we have just taken on our 3rd apprentice. We use the basic framework of the old training schemes but have linked in with an external company who provide support for putting the trainees through their NVQ level 2 and 3. We also send them to college to obtain their ONC and HNC, as well as external manufacturers training courses. In experience of trying to employ qualified engineers there are just non out there so we believe that this is the only way we can get people interested in the field and we can train them as we require.
If you want any further information of the sort of training we give them i.e. training programmes, phase tests then let me know.
