Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes designed around the needs of employers and lead to nationally recognised qualifications.

Apprenticeships benefit everyone, particularly in challenging economic times. Youngsters get valuable on-the-job training, employers get engaged and loyal staff and customers get professionally maintained bikes. Better yet, apprenticeships can be completed while you gain experience in the work place.

ATG Training offer an apprenticeship and an advanced apprenticeship.

Apprenticeship

Who is it for?

Anyone working as a mechanic who wants to gain training and qualifications to use during their working life.

What is included?

• Certificate of Cycle Maintenance (often referred to as a Technical Certificate, this is the specific, hands on training in Cycle Maintenance)
• Cytech Technical Two and DT Swiss wheel building training
• NVQ 2 in Cycle Maintenance (This delivers a solid grounding in engineering principles and working practices)
• Keyskills level 1 or 2.
• Employment Responsibilities and Rights

Advanced Apprenticeship

Who is it for?

Cycle mechanics that have completed the Apprenticeship and want to increase their skills, technical knowledge and obtain a high level qualification.

What is included?

• Diploma of Cycle Maintenance
• Cytech Technical Three training (3 courses)
• NVQ 3 in Cycle Maintenance
• Keyskills at a minimum of level 2

What does it cost?

Subsidy or funding may be available and if this is the case we will be happy to guide you through the application process. In most cases the subsidy will go a long way towards meeting the cost of your training and qualification; however we are expected to gain commitment from your employer in the form of a contribution to the overall cost of delivering, assessing and certificating a learner.
