We are thrilled to announce that CATCH Apprenticeships has recently been successful in gaining accredited apprenticeship status from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) for our Level 3 Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician Apprenticeship.

IET Accreditation is recognised throughout the world, and awarded by the Engineering Council to professional, competent technicians and engineers, and is only awarded to providers who have the potential to deliver the competencies required for professional registration.

In order to receive accreditation, the CATCH Level 3 Maintenance and Operation Engineering Apprenticeship undertook varying degrees of assessment by the IET, focusing not only on the quality of the training and teaching, but also how the apprentices are supported outside their training and the relationships built with employers and businesses.

By being an IET Accredited Provider, CATCH Apprentices will also have the opportunity to register and join the Institution of Engineering and Technology upon completion of their training, meaning they will become registered technician, which in turn can assist in strengthening their position within the industry.

“The IET accreditation of CATCH’s maintenance apprenticeship programmes recognises and validates the quality of the training provided by CATCH staff and gives confidence to apprentices learning at CATCH that the skills and knowledge they are gaining will be accredited by a professional body.”, Bob Padley, Head of Process and Maintenance.

We would like to congratulate all who are involved in the organisation and delivery of our Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician Apprenticeship, and for continuing to ensure excellence across the board at CATCH.
