Impress has significant experience of operating Advanced Apprenticeship frameworks with a number of local training providers. Some apprentices are employed from day 1, receiving a wage, others receive a bursary allowance and may qualify for help with travel costs too. Trainees work towards an NVQ3 qualification with functional and wider key skills. The majority of Impress' associated companies promote these Apprenticeship frameworks: -

Engineering Construction Industry Training Board - ECITB (NASEC and TECskills).

Science, Engineering & Manufacturing Technologies Alliance - SEMTA (PEO).

The scope of these frameworks covers a range of occupational sectors in the engineering, engineering maintenance and engineering construction industries. The employer (usually an Impress member company) selects programmes relevant to their business. National training grants are claimed by the selected training provider to contribute to employers' overall training costs. The employer pays apprentice wages and other employment costs or contributes to a bursary allowance. Additional grants may be awarded to employers for employed trainees achieving a full Apprenticeship qualification, which comprises of an NVQ3 in the chosen discipline, relevant Key Skills & a Technical Certificate. Impress provides technical advice and administrative support to employers for Apprenticeship programmes as a member service.

Impress is always available to coach future apprentices in the route most applicable to their aspirations.
