A summary

Challenges

To keep up with a fast-changing sector, where 54% of jobs are expected to require Level 4 qualifications or above by 2024.

To appeal to apprentices from all backgrounds by offering qualifications that kick-start their careers and inspire trust in employers.

To find a seamless and well-supported awarding solution, allowing HETA to focus on delivering best-in-class training to apprentices.

Our solution

Our specialist technical advisers helped HETA select the right qualifications and assessments from our comprehensive range to meet the fast-changing needs of local employers.

As the specialist engineering and manufacturing Awarding Organisation and End-Point Assessment Organisation first established in 1992, we are trusted by engineers and employers helping them to attract apprentices.

We worked to make onboarding as simple as possible for HETA allowing them to focus on the quality of their training.

The result

Thanks in part to the highly regarded qualifications they deliver in partnership with EAL, HETA currently receives more than 850 apprenticeship applications annually, more than four times their quota.
Providing a seamless and well-supported awarding solution has allowed HETA to focus on initiatives that will benefit their training offer. These include a new £6m facility in Grimsby and a relationship with Sheffield Hallam University that helps learners advance their qualifications up to Levels 4 and 5.
