Work Based Training

As a Modern Apprentice (MA) you will be employed from the very start of your training and receive a wage from your employer. You will then be given the chance to develop expertise and knowledge through on-the-job assessment as well as gaining vital skills such as teamwork and problem solving. This is offered to those aged over 16. This is an exciting way of gaining skills and qualifications that will help you to start a career without having to study full-time. Motherwell College offers a range of Modern Apprenticeships in various subject areas.

All of the Modern Apprenticeship frameworks are developed by the industry or sector in which they will be implemented and therefore encompass all the skills you require to become a craftsman, technician or manager in that area.

Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) tell you exactly what you have to do in a job to do it well. These qualifications are based on National Standards, which are drawn up by people from industry, commerce and education. This means that if you have a SVQ you have a way of proving that you can do your job well, to national standards agreed by whatever industry or commercial sector you are in.
