Road Marking Apprenticeship Scheme

The Road Marking Apprenticeship scheme is an eighteen month training program for operatives who are new to Road Marking.  It has been developed to deliver a broad mulitskilled approach to Road Marking, providing new entrants with a broad base of skills previously associated with operatives who have worked for many years in the Road Marking Sector.  On completing the scheme Apprentices achieve a number of qualifications and certificates including an NVQ level 2 in Pavement Marking.

All Sector Scheme 7 registered companies are required to follow the Road Marking Apprenticeship route for new operatives.

The scheme is delivered in a modular manner by a mix of formal instruction off-job, Key Skills and followed by supervised on-job training at employer level with a final end assessment.

Off-site training is mainly completed at our training centre at Gainsborough, although some specialised training may take place at other locations.

The course contents are designed to ensure that the candidate is able to understand the hazards and the safe working practices within this specialised industry, and upon completion of training, the candidate will be able to operate equipment and lay markings to industry standards of competence.

What are key skills?
Key skills are a range of essential skills that underpin success in education, employment, lifelong learning and personal development. All people, whether in education or training, should have a solid basis in the key skills of communication, application of number. This is essential if they are to compete effectively in the labour markets of the 21st century.

For Apprenticeships frameworks the Level 1 key skills qualifications in Communication and Application of Number are a minimum requirement.

Companies that are in scope and fully paid-up with their CITB levy will be eligible for grant funding to offset some of the cost of the Apprenticeship scheme.

Each intake for the scheme consists of 8 apprentices and is scheduled to take place every three months.
