FAQ'S
An Apprenticeship allows an individual to combine work and an accompanying skills development programme. Apprentices gain the technical knowledge, practical experience and wider skills they need for their immediate job and future career. Apprentices gain this experience through a wide mix of learning in the workplace, formal ‘off-the-job’ training and the opportunity to practise new skills in an actual working environment.
An Apprentice must complete a minimum of 20% of the training ‘off-the-job’. Apprenticeship training with Resource Group involves an 8-month foundation phase at either our Kemble or Humberside training facilities, which more than covers this requirement.
An aviation engineering Apprenticeship normally takes 2 years to complete and consists of an 8-month full-time EASA Part-66 Category A programme, followed by a 16-month work placement (with their employer) in an actual maintenance environment.
As an employer you are required to cover the wage of an Apprentice however, the Apprenticeship programme costs are funded by a government levy introduced in 2017.
Employers can choose which organisation they would like to train their Apprentices, the levy is then paid to the relevant organisation via the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
Apprentices can start the programme after the last Friday in June of the academic year in which they have their 16th birthday. They must also be eligible to work in the UK and have lived in England (or an EEA country) for the previous 3 years before starting the Apprenticeship.
They must not be enrolled on any other DfE funded programme.
As long as the Apprentice completes at least 50% of their working hours in England over the duration of the Apprenticeship, the programme does not have to take place solely in England.
