Well done Pete
The National Apprentice of the Year competitions were launched by SNG Publishing Ltd (publishers of the apprentice magazines, HIP! and SPARKS) in 2009, giving students the opportunity to be recognised for their hard work and skills. The national event is split into two competitions, one for electrical and one for plumbing. Each college is allowed to put forward one student per discipline. They can be either working in the industry or college-based. To be eligible they must be currently studying for their Level 2 or 3 qualification and be no older than 24 years of age.
All competitors attend regional heats, where an overall regional winner is chosen.
Each student that enters the competition is awarded a Certificate of Achievement for successfully competing. All regional winners are given an all expenses paid trip to the Live Final which usually takes place two months after the regional heats have finished.
The overall winner of the competition will be awarded the title ‘National Apprentice of the Year’ and will be presented with his or her prize by the President of the CIPHE (for plumbing) or Tony Cable of NICEIC and ELECSA (for electrical).
