NVQs are work-based qualifications; The Apprentice is
able to prove their competence by gathering naturally
occurring evidence on a daily basis within their job.

Introduction
Hull Skills Academy was established a number of years
ago as part of a School Partnership Scheme within the
region. It is a dedicated training centre for young people
aged 14-16 years. Students attend the centre on day
release from their schools and they are further assessed
while working in their normal work environment.
Our remit is to provide young people with an experience
and understanding of the engineering industry. It is our
aim to provide young people with the skills required by
the industry and to enhance their employability. This is
enabled by developing the principles of work ethic to
support students as they leave their sheltered school
environment and move into the wider world of
employment.
Induction programme
Upon commencing training at Hull Skills Academy,
students first undertake a four week induction
programme. This enables us to assess your skills, while
you meet the centre staff and become familiar with a
number of issues. During this period we will review the
content and objectives of the course, provide an insight
into various Health and Safety matters, ensure you
understand the importance of personal protection, enable
you to identify hazards and ensure you know how to safely
use machines and equipment.
Engineering a future
The School Partnership Scheme was successfully piloted
by Hull Skills Academy several years ago and today a
choice of training programmes is delivered to meet
various assessment criteria.
Dependent upon ability, Year 10 and 11 students can
undertake one or more of the following qualifications:
• GCSE in Engineering - double award
We have developed the GCSE programme to cover the
use of automation and up to date technology in today's
industry, including the use of ICT within manufacturing
processes. Students are given practical hands-on tuition
in the use of engineering hand tools as well as operating
within an environment which they need to work under the
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. On completion of
specific projects they complete a portfolio which is
assessed and marked. Further units are also available,
sometimes linked to schools own class work, which
completes the course programme.
