7. What is the course structure for an apprenticeship at MTA WA Training?

Course Delivery & Benefits:

The program is structured over 3 years providing the employer with more access to their apprentices when they are needed most.
A set number of units will be completed each year, ensuring clarity on the progress of the apprenticeship for both the employer and apprentice.
A set number of days for classroom training will be allocated to each apprentice at the beginning of each year. This consists of approximately 4 blocks of training per year (with a minimum 2 days to a maximum of 4 days per block, in any one year).
A clear focus is made on reducing the impact of classroom training on the employer and minimise workplace disruptions.
A minimum number of trainer/assessor contact hours, for workplace visits per apprentice, will be undertaken each year to assist with transferring learning into the workplace.
