This week Metro Rod Central London is celebrating National Apprenticeship week following the launch of Metro Rod's very own drainage engineer Apprenticeship programme at the beginning of 2019. This is really the latest manifestation of our ongoing commitment to training and development.
National Apprenticeship Week is coordinated by the National Apprenticeship Service and is designed to celebrate apprenticeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy. Our drainage engineers are unblocking blocked drains and blocked toilets, carrying out drain maintenance visits, undertaking CCTV drain surveys and repairing damaged drains across London every day and many of them started their careers with Metro Rod in a General Assistant or Apprentice role
A drainage engineer's job is a skilled profession and requires technical knowledge and expertise in a number of applications associated with drain care and repair . Our drainage engineers in Central London will typically be fully trained in :
As you can see unblocking drains in London involves a lot more than "turning up with a few rods" and our drainage engineers use the skills they have acquired across the capital city from Acton and Ealing in the West , through Notting Hill, Knightsbridge, Kensington and the West End to the City of London and Docklands and SE postcodes covering areas such as Dulwich and Southwark.
Metro Rod uphold the highest standards of training and accreditation, quality, safety and environmental care – we are compliant with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 and all our engineers maintain their professional accreditations through regular renewal training.
Now, new for 2019, Metro Rod's national network of drainage engineers has partnered with The Institute of Training and Occupational Learning (ITOL), to create an industry first apprenticeship scheme unique to the drainage industry. The bespoke drainage apprenticeship scheme is exclusive to Metro Rod and is designed to allow new entrant Apprentices to learn all the skills needed to specifically meet the business’s requirements, in turn meeting the highest standards in the drainage industry.
ITOL are globally recognised as an elite professional body, delivering a Professional Development Framework, with the structure of the programme being both simple and flexible, providing a variety of career paths for individuals to achieve excellence and improving organisational performance.
The Metro Rod drainage apprenticeship is designed to be completed over a two year period. ITOL staff will visit Metro Rod's local depots, such as our own in Central London, and support the on-boarding and training of new drain care apprentices.
The Metro Rod drainage apprenticeship scheme has two distinct elements:
The Metro Rod drainage engineer apprenticeship scheme evidences our commitment to the long-term future of our business and Metro Rod Central London's ongoing commitment to drain care and repair in the capital.
