PET-Xi graded good by Ofsted for all areas including Apprenticeships
“Trainers work effectively with the employer and draw on their shared expertise to provide apprentices with clear and comprehensive explanations that relate practical work to theoretical concepts. For example, apprentices apply robust safety practices to new techniques to refine their skills in using a transposer to reposition lengths of rail track to replace older track. Employers value the skills apprentices develop and the contribution they make to their business.”
“Managers and employers ensure that rail apprentices have a strong working knowledge of health and safety, including track-side safety. As a result, apprentices know how to work safely and identify possible risks when undertaking new
activities.”
