Apprentice scheme

Our apprentices

“I didn’t really want to go on to university, I wanted something more hands on so I thought an apprenticeship was the way forward. Now I’ve finished I have my national certificate in performing engineering operations and my HNC, NVQ level 2 and 3 in the electrical side of that. The training is excellent; it’s second to none.” Stephen Fisher, Qualified Apprentice, Didcot

“I’ve always wanted to do more than just stay in a classroom at school, so the whole idea of combining working and learning really appealed to me. The apprenticeship programme with npower was the best combination I saw of being able to do this.” David Beattie, First Year Apprentice, Fawley

“I chose npower because of their reputation and engineering, and because I wanted to have a hands-on career. I wanted to do something where I could progress and earn while I was learning. For women it’s absolutely brilliant. The doors have been open to me, every bit as much as to men.” Katie Lester, Third Year Apprentice, Tilbury

“I came across the apprenticeship programme during an open day and was very impressed with what was on offer. I’ve always wanted to be an Electrical Engineer and realised that the apprenticeship programme with npower was one of the best ways of achieving this.” Billy Morton, First Year Apprentice, Fawley

“I’ve always been interested in anything electrical and wanted to make a career out of it so thought I’d apply for an apprenticeship. The thing about the apprenticeship I like is that you’re doing something that will lead to what you want to do. I think npower are a brilliant employer, they do nothing but look after you and make sure you’re doing what you want to.” Adam Binks, Fourth Year Apprentice, Didcot

“I had made several other applications for apprenticeships and decided on this scheme because it sounded the best around. The idea of training, earning and being employed at the same time is like going on a great adventure.” Amy Chandler, First Year Apprentice, Fawley
