Brief Description
Southampton Engineering Training Association (SETA) is supporting Four Tees Engineering Ltd to recruit a Level 3 Plate Welder Apprentice to join their Engineering team and develop within the organisation.
Main tasks will be in aspects of welding and fabrication as well as gaining knowledge and experience to achieve the standard.
Training to be Provided
Apprentices will undertake a Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard programme. This will include a full-time period of practical workshop based ‘off-the-job’ training at SETA’s Apprenticeship Centre in Southampton.
You will also undertake aspects of a knowledge qualification (depending on your prior attainments) where you will attend SETA on a day release to complete agreed theory units to enhance your knowledge.
After your initial training at SETA, you will be with your employer working on developing your skills; ultimately leading to being able to demonstrate all the skills and knowledge identified in the apprenticeship standard.
SETA will make regular visits during your time in the workplace to ensure you are developing all the required skills within the
Standard, including the specified behaviours and checking your theory knowledge via professional discussions.
To achieve full certification after all of your training the apprenticeship culminates in your End Point Assessment (EPA), these final tests are administered by an independent assessment organisation and take place in the last three months of the apprenticeship.
Future Prospects
We hope the successful applicant will become a valuable member of the Four Tees Team. We encourage and reward individuals who wish to learn and develop their career.
We are keen to promote from within and have a structured training and development programme for our employees.
We see this as a great way to start in the industry, the potential career options are numerous.
