Apprenticeship training incorporates a multidisciplinary curriculum that blends practical experience with academic learning. Apprentices will learn directly under experienced drainage engineers and technicians at PQMS. They will then return to their employer as part of a carefully curated learning
plan to practice what they have learnt in the work environment.
Key Components of the Programme
1. Hands-On Training: Apprentices will spend a minimum of three months in learning at PQMS working with advanced tools and materials. They will learn how to install, repair, and maintain various drainage systems.
2. Health and Safety Standards: Given the complexities and risks involved in working with water systems, the program ensures apprentices are well-versed in the latest safety protocols and regulations. Safe to work is a key priority of the course alongside learning effective techniques.
3. Learning Environment: Apprentices are taught at PQMS in purpose-built classrooms with the latest equipment in a safe and welcoming environment. All members of staff are enhanced DBS checked, and their centres are Ofsted inspected. This was last undertaken in June 2023 with provision awarded Good across all aspects.
The Apprenticeship Journey
The program spans 15 months, broken into distinct phases to provide a well-rounded education:
