Customisation!
As a pioneer in developing and delivering Apprenticeships to the High hazard, Bulk Storage and Process sector, we know that no two facilities are exactly the same. That’s why we will consult with you and customise the learning experience to ensure that it is bespoke to your specific needs and the needs of your Operators.
We will train candidates to suit your business model, not anyone else’s.
At the end of the Apprenticeship, learners will be assessed in three ways:
1: An observation of them doing a task
2: A written test
3: A one-to-one discussion around key aspects of the Apprenticeship program.
Once Operators have the experience and the competence of the Apprenticeship – allied with the formal Level 3 qualification – then their Operational Career pathway has a range of options open to them.
Year 1:
This is the Core Training, where Apprentices learn the basics they need to complete their roles safely and effectively. This will make extensive use of our real-world-emulating training facility, the NCPM.
Year 2:
This will add time-served experience at the Apprentice’s own workplace to the Core Training as well as including all of the curriculum elements for the qualification: Level 3 Bulk Liquid Terminal Technician Specialism.
Upon completion, at the end of Year 2, Apprentices then have three months to complete the Assessment requirements.
For more info on your progression, get in touch with your Learning Advisors.
The Apprenticeship standard requires 20% of the learning to be ‘off the job training’ but, in order to limit the disruption to the Apprentice’s duties at your facility – this can be our site or your site.
Don’t forget – that 20% they’re ‘off the job’ massively improves the Apprentice’s performance the other 80% of the time!
Year 1:
Training is divided equally, 50% of the time Apprentices will be on your site and 50% of the time they will be with us at our Technical Training Centre.
Year 2:
The emphasis shifts to ensuring their learning is focused as much as possible on your specific needs – so 85% of the time they will be on your site, with just 15% of training taking place at our site.
The End Point Assessment then takes place entirely at your site.

How much does this Apprenticeship cost the employer?
So, how does the funding work?
Businesses with more than £3 million annual wage bill already contribute 0.5% of that bill into The Apprenticeship Levy.
When you recruit Apprentices – you can draw that money back, to pay for their training and assessment. You don’t need to take any action – We confirm Levy eligibility for you.
After two years, your unclaimed payments go into the ‘national pot’. If you don’t claim the money yourself, you’re paying for someone else to employ Apprentices.
No problem. You can still claim 95% funding. You contribute 5% towards the cost of training and assessing your Apprentice. The government will pay the rest (95%) up to the funding band maximum.
You need to:
- agree a payment schedule with us
- pay us directly for the training
At the end of that, you get an experienced and trained Operator.
