Written answers

The administration of the apprenticeship system is a matter for SOLAS. I understand that SOLAS has contacted the two companies referred to in this query and both organisations recognise the Advanced Certificate Craft Level 6, which is the qualification received on the successful completion of the apprenticeship programme. However I also understand that, according to records held by SOLAS, the individual involved has not fully completed his apprenticeship. The person in question should contact his local SOLAS Training Adviser for guidance on completing the final phase of his apprenticeship.
