Level 3 Diploma in Gas Engineering (9074)

City & Guilds has designed innovative and flexible delivery content that will equip apprentices with the competence and confidence to perform their best in assessment. Including:
• Non-Mandatory qualification: On-programme for this apprenticeship is a period of learning, development and assessment structured using the non-mandatory qualification – the City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Gas Engineering (9074-03). Learners on completion on the on-programme 9074 qualification will be eligible for Gas Safe Register. Apprentices will receive a certificate upon successful completion. We have created a supporting document to link the qualification content to the requirements in the standard, so you can feel confident that everything is covered. You’ll find this in the ‘documents’ tab.
• Apprenticeship training manual: Our apprenticeship training manual (ATM) guides tutors and apprentices through a range of practical tasks mapped to the standard, allowing apprentices to track progress and record evidence of their learning as they go. Tasks are mapped to Maths & English requirements, developing knowledge and skills in a real working environment. The ATM is available in print or as a digital download, or free of charge through our e-portfolio, Learning Assistant.
• Downloadable tutor materials: Tutor materials compliment apprenticeship delivery with engaging content including handouts, lesson plans and presentations, covering all learning outcomes. Materials are available for download from SmartScreen.
Induction learning content: Extensive content including handouts and e-learning modules meets the mandatory requirements for any apprenticeship programme of learning:
• Health and safety
• Safeguarding and Prevent
• Equality and diversity
• British values

Maths & English: Our Functional Skills qualifications cover the core maths and English requirements for this standard. Our support package, 'e-Functional Skills' is an online teaching and learning platform that guides learners from an initial diagnostic assessment, through to meeting the requirements for this standard.
