Apprenticeships

The demand for skills in the rail industry is high, and the benefits of hiring apprentices are clear, but the administration of an apprenticeship scheme can be challenging to develop or manage. NTAR offers a range of services to help employers and Main Providers develop apprenticeship training programmes that will provide value and attract the Apprenticeship Levy.

We would welcome the opportunity to become Main Provider for your apprenticeship training programme, managing the delivery of all of the programme elements required to meet the Rail Engineering and Leadership & Management standards.

We currently provide the following apprenticeships…

-          Level 2&3 rail engineering technician

-          Level 4 rail engineering advanced technician

-          Level 4 engineering manufacturer

-          Level 3 engineering fitter

-          Level 3 rail engineering design technician

NTAR as main provider

NTAR as subcontractor

Where employers and Main Providers have an existing scheme, but are unable to deliver some of the more specialist content of the Rail Engineering apprenticeships standards, NTAR is able to play the role of Specialist Provider, using our expertise and award-winning facilities to deliver specific programme elements, including:

  • delivery of Rail Engineering foundation knowledge and skill training, via our Apprentice Development Programme (ADP)

  • delivery of Rail Engineering competence qualifications

  • delivery of specialist pathway Rail Engineering knowledge qualification units
