Depending on your chosen route, it will take between two to three years to complete the programme, which is fully funded by Electricity North West.

Your time will be split between academic study, gaining valuable on the job experience and spending time in our purpose-built training academy.

Take a look at our apprenticeship programmes to see which one suits you best - advanced or higher level apprenticeships.
