Keltruck Limited has a 4 year modern apprenticeship opportunity for a 16/17 year old who wants to work with heavy trucks.

Want to know more...?

The apprenticeship combines both on the job work with theory and practical elements. Your apprenticeship will be based at your local Keltruck depot (click here for details of the locations of all our depots), but may involve some work within Keltruck’s other depots throughout the region to provide broader experience (this is likely to be in the latter part of the scheme).

The 3 year block release programme is prepared specifically by Scania (Great Britain) Limited which takes in every aspect of commercial vehicle training. On completion of the apprenticeship, the successful apprentice will be accredited with a BTEC National Certificate in Heavy Vehicle Engineering and NVQ level 2 & 3 in Maintenance and Repair in Vehicles. College attendance is by block release to the specialist Scania Training Centre in Loughborough. Accommodation is provided at the AA College during attendance periods.

Year 4 is a finishing year where the apprentice is placed in a range of departments and functions that a fully qualified technician will expect to work with.

Successful completion of the apprenticeship is not the end. As the major heavy truck distributor in the Midlands, we continue to develop all of our technicians through the Scania (Great Britain) Limited Master Technician scheme.

Acceptance onto the apprenticeship scheme is dependent upon the applicant achieving minimum of ‘C’ grade passes in Maths, English and Science.
