UK rail academy launches new apprenticeship standard

摘要

The National Training Academy for Rail (NTAR), in partnership with Siemens, South West Trains (SWT) and Fareham CEMAST, is among the first to have adopted the Rail Engineering Technician 'Trailblazer' Apprenticeship Standard. The new standard forms part of the highly successful Siemens-SWT apprentice training programme, now in its third year, with the first cohort due to enroll this month. Developed over two years by industry employers including Transport for London, Network Rail, SWT, and Siemens, the standard aims to provide apprentices with technical, professional and occupational competence in rail engineering.
