Training Delivery:

In the workplace, apprentices will be supported through on-site assessments and observations to ensure competence is applied in a real working environment
• All apprentices are required to log their off-the-job training hours, evidencing development across both on-programme learning and workplace activities in line with apprenticeship funding requirements

• On successful completion, apprentices will achieve the Bus and Coach Engineering Technician apprenticeship standard, developing the skills and knowledge required to maintain, diagnose and repair bus and coach vehicles safely and efficiently
• They will be competent in applying industry standards, health and safety practices, and modern diagnostic techniques, enabling them to work independently and contribute effectively within a professional engineering environment
• Learners will also complete their End-Point Assessment (EPA), demonstrating occupational competence, with progression opportunities into skilled technician roles and further development within the sector
