#NAW2022 – Myerscough on track with rail engineering apprenticeships

Myerscough College currently boasts a large intake of Railway Engineering Technician apprentices, with the next intake being recruited right now.

The apprentices are employed within depots across the country, while continuing their learning journey with Myerscough.

They spend some time as residential learners at Myerscough College’s main campus at Bilsborrow, utilising the College's multi-million-pound engineering centre to learn the basic principles of engineering and rail engineering technician knowledge. The remainder at their apprenticeship continues at their depots with their host employers, getting hands-on experience and gaining crucial skills, knowledge and behaviours.

A unique selling point of the delivery model is also that the apprentices will also spend periods of time with the National Training Academy for Rail (NTAR) in Northampton in their state-of-the-art rail facility.

Join us for a live Q&A with a few of our second- and third-year apprentices to find out more about what our scheme has to offer and what it is really like working as an Engineering Apprentice here at Northern, one of the UKs largest Rail Operators.

Our sessions are interactive, so this gives you an opportunity to decide whether an Engineering Apprenticeship Scheme is what you are looking for and if we can get your career off to the right start

Here a taste of what we’ve got to offer: -

The programme that offers you the opportunity to achieve level 3 qualification in Rail Engineering Technician on Traction and Rolling Stock.

An in-house Engineering Apprenticeship Manager will be your mentor and coach from the minute you join us as your first year see you spending most of your time learning at Myerscough College in Preston, where accommodation will be provided. Here you will complete a Level 2 qualification in Performing Engineering Operations (PEO) along with starting the Level 3 Traction and Rolling Stock qualification. You will also undertake work with the Training Provider and your Home Depot to begin immersing yourself in your career.

During year two you’ll spend more time in the Train Care Centre (we used to call those Depots) which will help you build your knowledge, gaining hands on experience, and given you more practical experience you need to complete your assignments – all part of the learning!
