Apprenticeships
Welding is used extensively and in almost every sector of industry, including automotive, marine, transport, general fabrication and construction. General welders produce components for cars, ships, rail vehicles and metallic containers, and steelwork for bridges, buildings and gantries. Welding is a safety-critical occupation, and every welder takes responsibility for the quality and accuracy of their work.

Apprentices without English or maths (at Level 2 for a Level 3 Apprenticeship or Level 1 for a Level 2 Apprenticeship) must achieve this prior to taking the End Point Assessment).
We can support you to achieve the desired level of maths and English, through functional skills taught sessions which are mandatory to attend as part of your programme (you cannot achieve your apprenticeship without the required level of maths and English).
