You’re naturally curious and enjoy understanding how things work. You take pride in getting things right, paying close attention to detail, and producing accurate, reliable results. Whether you’ve explored science before or are just starting out, you’re motivated to build real knowledge and develop a long‑term career in a laboratory environment.

You’re someone who thrives in a structured setting—clarity, routine, and standards. You work patiently, focusing on precise tasks, and understand that quality and consistency matter.

You take ownership of learning, are open to feedback, and approach your work with a calm, methodical mindset. You’re comfortable working independently as well as contributing to a team, and you’re excited by the prospect of progressing within a lab setting.

• You must be 18 or over.

Applicants should not already hold a Level 3, degree or higher qualification in a closely related subject, nor have significant experience in the same field.

Start your career as a laboratory technician and gain hands‑on experience supporting real scientific work in a professional laboratory or technical environment over 20 months.

Your training will include at least 6 hours per week of off‑the‑job training, including online sessions, practical activities, and applied assignments. The blended learning approach incorporates live sessions, online learning, and workplace training with guidance from a mentor.

The apprenticeship may lead to further qualifications, such as becoming a Registered Science Technician (RSciTech) or progressing to higher‑level qualifications like degree apprenticeships in Biology, Materials, or Chemistry.
