NVQ Level 3.......................................................
Quite often our clients cross train their Engineers into other trade areas or even promote good people from Operator or other lower level roles to perform basic level maintenance tasks without them ever having served an Apprenticeship. The problem with this over time is that they can end up with a workforce made of a number of unqualified people which leads to dilution in the quality of service from their own maintenance teams. One of the ways to address this situation is to give those good people the chance to formalise the skills and training they have already received ‘in house’ by enrolling them on an NVQ Level 3. This is the main practical qualification associated with an Advanced Apprenticeship that anyone at any age can undertake as a stand-alone qualification.
It can be achieved with minimal loss or disruption to work as it is a work based learning (WBL) qualification. There is no requirement to visit a training centre in order to achieve it.
The people best suited to enrol on an NVQ Level 3 will already be performing a maintenance/or other Engineering role and simply looking to gain certification around the existing skills they have. It is achievable in as little as 6 months but is not restricted by time so can be done at the pace and availability of the candidate.
The gain for any company is to prove base line competence of their engineering team and for the candidate to feel better about their own skills and that the company in question has shown faith in them. NVQ Level 3’s are available in all Engineering roles from Office based CAD/Design/Technical Services to the more traditional Maintenance (Elec/Mech/Instrumentation) and Manufacturing (Fab, Weld, Machining) roles.

................................................................Coded Welding Course
Length of course: VariedCourse Locations: Hull & Stallingborough We tailor our training to each individual delegates/companies unique requirements. Initially, we ask the delegates to attend a 2 hour assessment at a HETA Training Centre. This allows the Instructor to determine what level the delegate is currently working at, and helps them devise a training plan to enable the delegate to reach their desired standard. Prior to the Initial Assessment, we ask delegates to complete a questionnaire so we can determine exactly what process/material/joint etc the delegate requires.
The cost for the Initial Assessment is deducted from any Welding Training that the delegate attends following the Initial Assessment. Following the Initial Assessment, the costs of one-to-one training with a TWI certified Instructor at a HETA Training Centre.

..................................................................
Welding Competency Assessments.........................................................................
A Competency Assessment is a great tool to separate the people who look good on paper and those can demonstrate they clearly have the experience and expertise you are looking for. An even more robust way of doing this is to have the assessments conducted by a 3rd party unbiased Assessor to ensure the most honest and accurate assessment.
HETA have a large bank of tasks, ranging from 30mins to half a day that can be set up and used as assessment tasks to test ability levels of any sort of Engineer in roles from Operator to High End Technical Maintenance Engineers in Oil and Gas or Manufacturing roles. These tests are all observed, recorded and reported on by our experienced team of Instructors that all have years of their experience as Engineers themselves to ensure an accurate assessment is made.
If we can’t find the appropriate assessment you are looking for we are always happy to design something in collaboration that will meet with requirements. We are also able to run assessment days where we can accommodate several people at once.

Tailored Courses..........................................................................
When it comes to training, we know that “one size does not fit all” - many organisations have specific training needs which are not always relevant, appropriate or met by traditional scheduled courses, so we take a different approach.
Our Tailored courses are a cost-effective way to ensure your teams have the specific, focused training that’s required for your business, delivered where and when you need it.
Whether you want a tailored product, covering aspects of current coursed, or require something bespoke, that is as individual as your business needs we can help.
..........................................................................
With the introduction of the Apprentice Training Levy, employers can now take advantage of a Government backed training scheme.
This course is ideal for either operators looking to move into a more maintenance lead role or for members of your existing maintenance team who lack formal qualifications.
This course is split into 2 sections, firstly basic training delivered on day release which covers:
• Electrical installation• Maintenance in both electrical & mechanical• Hydraulics & pneumatics
Alongside this an evidence based portfolio must be gathered on site to demonstrate competency.
At the end of the course candidates must pass an independently verified assessment in order to gain the qualification.

What is an Apprenticeship?
An Apprenticeship is a real job with training, enabling individuals to earn while they learn and gain a nationally recognised qualifications. Hiring an Apprentice helps businesses to grow their own talent by developing a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce.
How do Apprenticeships work?
Typically an Apprentice attends HETA for one year, with the final two years working and training in the workplace. Employers provide on-the-job training, while off-the job training is arranged by us. We liaise with you as an employer to tailor the training plan to your business needs and assess the Apprentice’s progress on the job.
Who can apply for an Apprenticeship?
Anyone in England can apply for an Apprenticeship if they are aged 16 or over, eligible to work in England, not engaged in full-time education and have reached the minimum entry requirements.Apprenticeships are designed by employers for employers, which means you can be sure they’ll meet your needs. Apprenticeships are not just for new staff – you can use them to develop your existing staff too. Funding is available depending on their age.
Introduction to Apprenticeships
How much does it cost to hire an Apprentice?
Employing an Apprentice can be highly cost effective for businesses. Hiring an Apprentice provides the opportunity to train enthusiastic staff whist working in partnership with the Government to invest in the cost of the learning and training.
Your business will be responsible for paying the salary of the Apprentice, including the year they spend at HETA. As of April 2018, the national minimum wage is £3.70 per hour for Apprentices aged 16-18. This is also the rate for Apprentices aged 19 and over for their first year as an Apprentice. After this first year they are required to be paid the national minimum wage rate for their age.

All UK employers who have a total employee pay bill above £3m a year will pay the Levy. This includes public and private sector, charities and educational providers such as academy groups and universities. The Levy rate was set at 0.5% of your pay bill in the November 2015 Comprehensive Spending Review.
Your ‘pay bill’ is your total employee earnings subject to Class 1 secondary NICs.
Employers get a £15,000 fixed annual allowance to offset against the Levy payment. Employers who operate multiple payrolls are able to claim one allowance for the Levy.
An example: if you have a £3m pay bill, you have a Levy bill of £15,000 (at 0.5% of employer pay bill). The allowance is offset against this so your Levy payment is £0.00.

Humber ATA - who are we?
Due to increased demand by our client group, HETA have set up Humber ATA. Humber Apprentice Training Agency is a wholly owned subsidiary of HETA and can act as the employer for any Apprentices that client companies wish to engage with but are unable to employ directly.
Hosting an Apprentice through the Humber ATA enables companies to engage HETA Apprentices by reducing employment risks or associated overhead costs. Humber ATA will act as the Apprentice’s employer and the Apprentice will be placed with their ‘host’ company, to enable them to gain their Apprenticeship qualification.
Humber ATA will promote and support the delivery of a high quality engineering Apprenticeship programme through HETA involving companies who wish to use the services of an ATA.
Humber ATA supports the delivery of the HETA Apprenticeship programme by offering a number of services including:
• Recruitment and selection of Apprentices via the HETA recruitment process
• Management of the Apprentice’s employment including all payroll, tax and National Insurance obligations

Apprenticeship Standards Apprenticeship frameworks and standards.
The main differences:
The Institute for Apprenticeships is working with employers to create and develop new Apprenticeship Standards, in the aim to raise the quality of Apprenticeships.
A Standard contains a list of the skills, knowledge and behaviours an Apprentice will need to have learned by the end of their Apprenticeship.
Standards are occupation-focused; they are not qualification-led. The learning happens throughout the Apprenticeship and the Apprentice is assessed at the end. They need to prove that they can carry out all aspects of their job. They develop transferable skills and gain credibility too.
By 2020 Apprenticeship Standards will have replaces all the old Apprenticeship frameworks.

A 1 to 1 interview with a Manager at HETA to discuss candidates train-ability and trade selection. After the open evening, candidates should have more understanding and experience of what route they would like to go down.
Company Open Day
Candidates attend an open day where we invite our client companies who are looking to recruit and apprentice. This is an opportunity for candidates to find out more about companies and job vacancies that are available. For companies, it is an ideal opportunity to find the right candidate that fits the job role you are advertising.
Company / Traineeship offers
Following the company open day, companies will interview candidates and select the ideal candidate. They will then be offered a contract of employment. HETA will also offer traineeship placements to students with high competency and a passion for engineering. These will then be available for companies to pick up later on in the year.

Jacksons Bakery
HETA are a very well respected training provider in the area. They have a rigorous selection process and produce a high calibre of Apprentices. Their trainers are very knowledgeable and come from an industry background. I have always found them to be very professional and their training methods to be delivered to a high standard. They maintain regular contact with the employer to ensure that Apprentices receive high standards of training and are quite cooperative when agreeing the selection of modules etc.
McCain Foods
HETA provides us with a professional and highly efficient training service at all our plants in the UK, from conducting our Engineering apprentice training to arranging bespoke courses for us at the drop of a hat. All the training they provide is conducted by a helpful and approachable team, where nothing is too much trouble.
AAK
AAK have used HETA for our Apprentice scheme for several years. They provide excellent training during the first year at their facility and feedback process for our Apprentices on a regular basis. Following the first year, regular visits to our site and progress reports are made. Any support that the Apprentice may need if they are struggling with any aspect of their training, I can rely on HETA in helping. I would rate the service and quality of training as excellent.
Terex Genie
We have had the good fortune of dealing with the HETA for some years, and have found them to be very professional. The Genie apprentices that attend have received outstanding levels of training and have settled in well, which is vital at a young age. We are provided with constant updates on how our apprentices are performing, this is very important as together we can monitor and address any potential issues they may arise. I would highly recommend HETA and its services to all within our industry.
