Tim Berry is on the right tracks after achieving his welding apprenticeship with a distinction.

Tim is pictured with Tutor Gary Bower.

The 24-year-old, from Hartlepool, has secured a full-time role with Hitachi following the completion of his Level 3 Apprenticeship in Plate Welding.

Tim, a former student at the town’s English Martyrs Catholic School, said: “I have had a good apprenticeship overall and I have felt fully supported through the programme.

“The college was very accommodating, especially with the challenging End Point Assessment. I was lucky to have been offered the opportunity at Hitachi; it is a well-known company and I have learnt a lot throughout my apprenticeship.”

His Tutor/Assessor Gary Bower added: “Tim studied at Level 3 in Welding. He was very quiet to begin with but has grown into the role. Tim has developed into an exceptional welder and the distinction grade reflects his hard work and dedication.”

Well done Tim!
