Our new wholetime recruits join as Apprentice Firefighters and complete a two-year apprenticeship - the Level 3 Operational Firefighter apprenticeship - which is a combination of practical skills and theoretical learning.

Our firefighter apprentices are supported by our Apprenticeship Support team, along with their Watch and Crew Managers, peers, and other colleagues. There are four development milestones, a mock End-Point Assessment, and final End-Point Assessment (known as an EPA).
