Introduction to apprenticeship

We make it easy for people to learn about Telecommunications and Data Network Engineering

An apprenticeship is the recognised means by which apprentices receive comprehensive training in order to become skilled in a particular area of employment. Apprenticeship training provides alternating on-the-job training in conjunction with off-the-job training in Education and Training Boards and selected higher education institutions.

Timelines & Course Modules

The apprenticeship in Telecommunications and Data Network Engineering involves a 24 month apprenticeship contract with an employer which incorporates both on-the-job and off-the-job elements.  Over the lifetime of the apprenticeship a total of eight blocks, each of two weeks duration, will be spent attending class and practical laboratories at TU Dublin.  


 

The eight “off-the-job” blocks incorporated within the apprenticeship require full-time attendance (Monday to Friday) at TU Dublin for duration of two weeks on each occasion. In addition during the on-the-job elements a significant period of time will be spent in the form of work based learning with the employer in order to complete the Programme modules.  Four modules will be completed in year 1 and four in year 2.
