What is the hours shift like through the week ?

For the Engineering Apprenticeship, your hours would depend but you are contracted to work 8 hours a day. Personally I work 06:00-14:00 but others may work 07:00-15:00 or other hours. It depends on what works best. Your site may prefer that you work the early shift as this is when the majority of the work occurs on site.

Thank you Amelia,

so for the likes of a first year apprentice what's the work week like ?

Your first year is based 100% at an external training provider so you wont be attending site within your first year.

Would it be fully studying then for the first year ?

Yes that is correct. I hope this helps.

That is helpful thank you

would that be a full 5 days a week in college ?

Yes its a full working week at the training provider. This means you can go home at weekends if you wish.
