The first phase of the apprenticeship programme will be mostly spent living and learning at one of our dedicated training centres.

Sam started the Level 3 Engineering Apprenticeship scheme in 2015 and is now a Senior Technical Officer based in London. This is his experience as an apprentice with Network Rail:

Why did you choose an apprenticeship with Network Rail?
"After completing my A-levels, I was in two minds about whether or not to go to University or straight into working but decided to explore apprenticeship opportunities. I wanted an apprenticeship with a well-established engineering employer"

What was a particularly positive experience during your apprenticeship training?
"A positive experience would be that of meeting new people and making friends that you know you'll be in contact with for a long time. I also really enjoyed learning new skills and gaining confidence"
