You will get the opportunity to visit our head office and state-of-the-art training facilities in West Sussex to undertake Technical training under the guidance of our Certified Trainers. Following a successful apprenticeship you will have gained a recognised Level III engineering qualification and the opportunity to apply for a permanent position within our expert engineering team, where a suitable role is available.###
