Year one
You’ll be in full-time residential study at the National College for Nuclear (staying there is optional and dependent on where you reside at the moment), completing a foundation year in engineering including both academic and hands-on learning. You’ll undertake foundation training courses and complete inductions and orientations at your EDF base location.
-
Years two and three
Your time will be split between your studies and on the job learning at your EDF location. You’ll complete three, four week blocks of residential study and will then have the opportunity to develop and build on these in your workplace.
-
Year four
You’ll spend most of your time at your EDF location, while continuing studies through long-distance learning. The final stage of your apprenticeship will involve you completing a significant work-based project that will be required as evidence of completion and qualification for the degree apprenticeship award.
As well as all the support you need, you’ll also enjoy plenty of opportunities to get involved in meaningful and challenging work once your studies are underway.
