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 HTC Apprentice Programme gives you the chance to join a select group of specialist technicians working on some of the most modern, sophisticated trucks on the road.

The day-to-day tasks include:

  • Observing and assisting senior technicians
  • Following health and safety procedures
  • Servicing
  • MOT’s
  • All aspects of vehicle maintenance and repair

Your training

Not only will Apprentices be working and be trained at a HTC garage, but they will also attend our DAF Nottingham Training Centre four times a year for two-week periods to work towards their Level 3 in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair.

An advisor will visit at least every six weeks as part of a close support network to ensure that Apprentices are both enjoying and succeeding in their course. An Apprentice’s training includes:

  • Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Standard
  • Functional skills if needed in Maths & English
