The UK “Camera Tech” Apprenticeship Standard is searching for its first intake of apprentices. Originally planned for a 2020 start, the scheme will now look to get going in summer/autumn 2021 due to the uncertainty created by the pandemic. Four training providers are currently being appraised for the awarding of the contract to do the Apprenticeship training: West London College, London Skills Academy, All Spring Media and ETC. This will be awarded in March, leaving time to prepare course material for the formal launch. The first intake is expected to be brought in in September, with around 20 applicants will be recruited for the scheme.
