Mobile plant apprenticeship in mineral processing industry

27 January 2018

Mentor's level 2 mobile and static plant apprenticeship programmes are underway. Working closely with industry specific employers and specialist training companies, Mentor has strategically tailored a range of engaging programmes that meet the new Level 2 Mineral Processing Mobile and Static Plant Operator standard for those operating within the extractives industry.

Mentor has worked with the team at The Hills group to sign up the first level 2 apprentice, Aidan Jeffreys, based at Hills Shorncote Quarry. 
He will complete a valuable range of external training courses delivered primarily by Mentor, along with industry specialist training providers with whom they have partnered including Rob Shore of Safety Coaching, MRS Training, IFAST and Serac UK, which will ensure that the apprentice receives a quality learner experience. 

During his time as an apprentice, Jeffreys will spend most of his time onsite supported by mentors, receiving specific, practical training. He will follow a structured apprenticeship programme and training plan that Mentor has constructed in line with the apprenticeship standard whilst meeting the needs of The Hills Group operation and expectations. 

Tracy Colton, head of apprenticeships said: "I was thrilled to induct Aidan on to our apprenticeship programme and I will be meeting with him throughout his apprenticeship to review his progress and provide him with continuous support."

"We are confident that our programmes fit the needs of the employers and are committed to adapting them to ensure the apprentices receive training that is fit for purpose."

Jeffreys will receive a range of mandatory training including both theoretical and practical units required to achieve the standards with additional training onsite available. On completion of his apprenticeship, he will hold an NVQ relevant to the pathway that he undertakes, in addition to the level 2 qualification itself.
