Rolls Royce - North East Training Centre

I was put forward for several interviews with some major north east companies one of which was The Davy Roll Company Limited, Gateshead, where I now work. I will spend the remainder of my apprenticeship here where I will qualify as a multi-skilled machinist and continue my education up to degree level on a day release basis. The Davy Roll Company even pays my college fees for me. I have no doubt that without enrolling on the Rolls-Royce apprenticeship scheme I would not have had such great opportunities.

Initially I had planned to go to university after I finished my education at school; however I liked the concept of learning while I worked and decided that an apprenticeship was the best way forward for me. At this point I began enquiring into apprenticeship providers and found Rolls Royce North East Training Centre, which I applied for. I was invited for aptitude tests and an interview which weren’t as daunting as they sounded, and was offered a place on the course to start in September. Before that time came, Rolls-Royce put me forward for a position at Fraser Hydraulic Power Ltd.

My new ambitions were to seek a technical career in engineering. After contacting Connexions employment agency I was advised to contact Rolls- Royce NETC.

I was fairly confident after the interview that I had fared well, and shortly after, I was accepted with a start date for September 07. I was very pleased to have been given this opportunity.
