Success stories

Meet Archie - Mechanical Engineering Technician Apprentice

Archie has always been hands-on and knew that he wanted to do a path of practical study. He found out about Derwent Training through his work experience and has enjoyed learning different skills across his apprenticeship, including milling, welding, hand-turning and machining. When he completes his training he would eventually like to run his own business.

“Doing an Apprenticeship is a great way to learn while also getting paid. There are people from all different backgrounds and walks of life here at Derwent Training. If you need help or support, there’s always someone to ask or relate to.”
