Unconfirmed. Electricity North West publishes no sponsorship policy for its advanced and higher level apprenticeships, level 3 or level 4, two to three years, so we cannot state a firm answer. Electricity North West, now branded SP Electricity North West, is the distribution network operator for five million customers in the North West. Apprenticeships come in advanced and higher level routes taking two to three years, fully funded by the company, with time split between academic study, on the job experience and a purpose built training academy. Apprentices work towards a Level 3 or Level 4 qualification. The published package is a salary that increases each year on achieving programme milestones, 23 days holiday plus bank holidays, a mentor throughout, a pension and a flexible benefits platform. The programme opens with a three day residential course with the rest of the cohort. No salary figure and no statement on visa sponsorship or right to work appear on the page.
