We operate a forty hour working week. During the first and second year of training, you will be based in the training workshop. You will learn and work here within a normal shift system. We start at 7.30 am. When you are completing your practical placement in one of our departments, you will have to fit in with the shift system which operates there. This might be a normal shift, but work might also be organised on a two or three-shift basis.
