Technician apprenticeships in spotlight at breakfast briefing
A breakfast briefing about becoming part of the Technician Apprenticeship Consortium (TAC) apprenticeship scheme is to be held in London on Thursday 13 February, 2014. TAC is a group of more than 30 large and small engineering consultancy practices that has come together to develop and deliver Advanced Technician Apprenticeships to assist in meeting the demand for highly skilled technicians.
It was conceived in 2010 with just six employers and eight apprentices. Since then it has become a highly credible and proactive professional group with 19 employer members at national level and many more at local level. It is proud to have created around 200 apprentice vacancies in 2013 alone, making a total of more

than 400 apprentices in training. The distinctive nature of the apprenticeship is that it was developed with the support of CIBSE, and is mapped to the Engineering Council UKSPEC requirements for EngTech registration and LCIBSE. The apprenticeship, therefore, provides a valued work-based
route to a career as a professional engineer.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Advanced Technician Apprenticeship in Building Services Engineering and the TAC, and would like to attend the breakfast briefing in London, please email Sheila Hoile at
