The programme also opens the way to qualifications including a Modern Apprenticeship, SVQ Level 3, National Certificates, and Higher National Certificates in chosen disciplines.

Hannah Pirie has been part of the course,. The 16-year old said: “My experience so far, both in the classroom and on-site, has been incredibly rewarding, giving me a great understanding of my future role as I move into the next phase of my apprenticeship.

“Being an apprentice allows me to apply learning to real-life situations, such as the control valve demonstration I led during ExxonMobil Fife's 'bring your child to work' day. It was a proud moment, hopefully inspiring other women and educating about some of the critical safety equipment we use on site.”

Candidates must be at least 16 years old and are required to have, or be expected to obtain, a minimum of four National 5 qualifications at grade C or higher. These must include English, Maths, and Physics or Chemistry, in addition to a technical subject like Graphic Communication or Engineering Science.
