Workplace Trainer Certificate

The workplace trainer is an essential part of how MAST supports the marine and specialised technologies industries. When working and studying for their apprenticeship guidance is needed from that person within the business to support the learning and to provide insight into questions the apprentice may have.  In some cases, this could be the supervisor but in others it is a colleague with the technical skills and attitude to take the young person on the journey to be a successful trades person.   
 
MAST sees the workplace trainer as the lynch pin to completing a successful apprenticeship and have therefore developed an easy to give the mentor/supervisor the skills they might need to guide the apprentice along the way. Having a strong learning culture will help you attract and retain staff.

The online module covers:
