Tender description

Network Rail is seeking views from the market place with regards to running pilots for the L5, 6 and 7 Rail and Rail Systems Engineering apprenticeship standards in 2019. A brief scope is detailed below along with links to the full apprenticeship standard Level 5 Rail and Rail Systems Engineering Apprenticeship For the purposes of the 2019 pilot programme, we envisage selecting a group of around 20 participants from within the current Network Rail Maintenance Infrastructure Projects workforce, and possibly including third-party supply chain delegates in similar roles. At this stage, we cannot be definitive on the technical disciplines of each of the participants, although we recognise the implications of a mixed disciplinary audience for programme design and delivery. We would propose, therefore, to focus initially on individuals with a background and career aspirations in Track Engineering, Signalling and Control Systems and or Rail Systems Integration For the full Apprenticeship standard, please visit: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/rail-rail-systems-engineer/ or https://www.nsar.co.uk/rail-engineering/ Level 6 Rail and Rail Systems Engineering Apprenticeship We now wish to commission a pilot programme to road-test delivery of the Rail and Rail Systems Engineering Apprenticeship at Level 6 in partnership with HE FE or training providers. The standard is constructed on a ‘core and options’ model; a summary of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that make up the occupational profile is shown in the table below.
