DAF Heavy Vehicle Apprenticeship (Castleford)
Role
With the rapid increase in the complexity of today’s trucks - and the technology needed to keep them up and running - first class training for those involved in the vital servicing and maintenance of these vehicles has become more important than ever.

The day-to-day tasks include:
- Observing and assisting technicians
- Following health and safety procedures
- Servicing
- MOTs
- All aspects of vehicle maintenance and repair
Training
Not only will apprentices be working and be trained at a DAF garage, but they will also attend City of Bristol College four times a year, for two-week periods, to work towards their Level 3 in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair.
A skills coach will visit at least every 28 days as part of a close support network, to ensure that apprentices are both enjoying and succeeding in their course.
An Apprentice’s training includes:
- Level 3 in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair
