INDUSTRY LED PRACTICAL TRAINING
HETA are the Yorkshire and Humber regions leading Engineering Training Provider and since establishment in 1967 have developed industry led practical training programmes for apprentices and existing engineers.
Since 2010, HETA have been active in the wind industry and are currently delivering programmes for Centrica, SSE, EON, Vestas and Ecotricity.
James McIntosh, HETA’s Business Development and Marketing Manager commented: “We were the first in our area to take steps to match the needs of local renewable companies, and we are the only local provider who can offer an approved City & Guilds Wind Turbine Technician apprenticeship course.”
APPRENTICESHIPS
The apprenticeship comprises of a year off the job spent in the training centre, 4 days a week of this time is spent in the workshop covering electrical, mechanical, instrumentation, pneumatics and hydraulics skills. In addition to this the apprentices learn the underpinning theory knowledge in the classroom which means when they come into company full time from Year 2 they can contribute straight away to practical tasks. James continued: “We also deliver a number of national and
regional contracts where employers send their learners to us from all across the UK to use the accommodation partner we have to complete the first year full time training programme.
ADULT TRAINING
“The training is also relevant to adults – people generally who are working for wind turbine companies and are engineers. They might already have done an apprenticeship in a different industry at a time when this qualification wasn’t available. They might be qualified engineers who don’t have anything to say they are competent to work on wind turbines, and we are in discussions with a number of the country’s leading operations and maintenance companies to train their employees.
FUTURE EXPECTATIONS
HETA is also expecting more of the service companies in the area are going to come on board and train their staff using this qualification to prove their competence in industry as wind turbine technicians.
