You will be supported by your Apprentice Manager, Rotation Managers, and the wider apprentice network, to ensure you are meeting the requirements of your course and getting the most out of your apprenticeship.  Apprentices who complete this scheme have the transferable skills needed to work in manufacturing, therefore, roll-off opportunities are not limited to a specific business unit. 

The TTA scheme was established in 2023, and continues to grow, based on the long-term need for, and opportunity for, this skill set within our business. Our aspiration is to invest in the next generation of Test Technicians, in order to develop the skills and competencies needed to support our ever-growing business portfolio. 

Overview of the scheme 

Year 1 & 2 

In year 1 you will start your study with GET, where you will attend classes and be set tasks, assignments and projects based on this teaching - referencing your workplace learning to support completion of these.
