    Progression Opportunities

    The Trailblazer employers have worked in partnership with professional bodies to define the apprenticeship standard and the assessment plan to ensure that it maps to the requirements for RSciTech set by the Science Council. The scope of the standard and the associated assessment plan means that the individual should not require any further training on completion of their apprenticeship to allow them to apply for professional registration as RSciTech.
