Why should you complete a gas apprenticeship?

Gas Engineers require highly-complex practical skills that must be tested in a real environment before you can deliver services directly to customers.

Apprenticeships are uniquely positioned to give you the hands-on experience to develop the skills and confidence you need to succeed. Gas apprenticeships will also enable you to build relationships directly with employers and other tradespeople who can help you with your career at the end of your apprenticeship.

How should you prepare for a gas engineer apprenticeship interview?

Before being invited to an interview, you will be asked to complete an aptitude test; if successful, you will be invited to an interview with Saltire’s operational managers.

Once you’ve been invited for an interview, it’s time to show your interviewer that you’ve got everything they’re looking for in an apprentice.

  1. Research – find out more about the company and the types of projects they work on in advance so you can ask relevant questions and demonstrate qualities that seem essential to them.
  2. Prepare – even if you don’t know exactly what will be asked on the day, you can prepare a list of key facts about yourself to keep you focused when answering.
  3. Ask questions – have some questions prepared to show that you are interested in learning more about the company and apprenticeship.
