Unconfirmed. VolkerWessels UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeships levels 2 to 7, so we cannot state a firm answer. VolkerWessels UK publishes an apprenticeship ladder from Level 2, equivalent to GCSE, through Level 3 at A Level standard, Level 4, Level 6 at degree level with a bachelor's degree or professional qualification, to Level 7 at master's level. Disciplines named include engineering, surveying, project management and business administration. Level 2 and 3 apprenticeships build maths and English, and if you do not already hold a Level 2 qualification equivalent to GCSE grade 4 or C, functional skills in both subjects are embedded in the programme. Higher apprenticeships typically need GCSE grades 4 or above. Relevant qualifications such as an NVQ, or industry experience, can reduce training time. Every apprentice is assigned a skilled mentor. A published apprentice account describes a four year Level 6 Rail and Rail Systems Engineering degree apprenticeship leading to a bachelor's degree in track engineering.
