For new apprentices

An apprenticeship combines paid employment with practical training. Your employer hires and pays you; Lomax provides the training and supports you and your employer throughout the programme.

Gas engineering

Develop the knowledge, practical skills and safe working practices needed for a career in gas engineering.

Utility network operations

Build practical skills for working on utility networks, with structured training linked to your role in the workplace.

Secure an apprenticeship

  1. Prepare for your application

    Employers look for a good foundation in maths and English, an interest in practical work, reliability and a willingness to learn safely. Relevant experience can strengthen your application.

  2. Find an employer

    Apply to an employer who can offer paid work and support your apprenticeship. Enrolment requires a formal agreement with that employer. The employer contacts Lomax to arrange training.

  3. Train with Lomax

    Combine meaningful experience at work with planned technical training. Lomax reviews your progress with you and your employer and prepares you for your independent end-point assessment.

What Lomax provides

  • Delivery of your apprenticeship qualification.
  • Practical training and support for you and your employer.
  • Regular progress reviews.
  • Preparation for the independent end-point assessment.

Training may include workshops, classroom or online learning, mentoring, job shadowing and practical tasks outside your normal duties. Your training plan sets out the off-the-job learning required for your programme, within paid working hours.

Support with costs

An eligible care leaver under 25 may receive a £3,000 apprenticeship bursary. Speak to Lomax before or during your apprenticeship so we can check eligibility and arrange the claim. This support is paid to the apprentice, separately from employer incentives.
