Course overview
We deliver this apprenticeship in partnership with Northern and The National Training Academy for Rail (NTAR). Vacancies are normally posted in the Spting of each year.
Your Journey Over Three Years:
Year One:
You?ll live and study at Myerscough College in Preston (Accommodation, Food and Rail travel included), focusing on your Level 2 Performance in Engineering and Level 3 Diploma in Rail Engineering. While at college, you?ll learn the fundamentals in a classroom and workshop setting and gain practical experience at your assigned TrainCare Centre during breaks.
Year Two: You?ll continue working alongside your dedicated team at the TrainCare Centre, applying what you've learned in a hands-on environment. This year includes two fortnightly visits to the National Training Academy for Rail (NTAR) in Northampton, where you?ll complete specialist units towards your Level 3 Diploma.
Year Three: Building on your knowledge and experience, you?ll create a portfolio of evidence to complete your Level 3 qualification and prepare for your End Point Assessment. You?ll continue to work closely with your team, deepening your practical skills in real-world scenarios.
Throughout your three years, you?ll be tested on your knowledge gained; all to make sure you?re on track with learning.
