Apprentices get hands-on with Baxi boilers

Baxi has donated boilers to two colleges ahead of this year’s apprenticeship intake.

The heating and hot water specialist donated boilers to Birmingham Metropolitan (BMet) College as part of an ongoing partnership. A total of 36 Baxi apprentices have undertaken their apprenticeships through the college since the two organisations began working together in 2020.

The new boilers will be used by apprentices studying for their Gas Engineering Operative Level 3 apprenticeship. A similar boiler donation was made to Barnet & Southgate College, where 18 apprentices, including eight from Baxi, will undertake vocational training and qualifications this year.

The Baxi apprentices at BMet College were given the opportunity to install the new boilers at Barnet & Southgate’s Colindale campus as part of their portfolio requirements. During the installation, they were able to gain first-hand experience of a host of features developed following installer feedback.

Sue Cole, senior employer responsive manager at BMet College, said: “This not only represents a significant investment in our training facilities but also highlights the strong partnership we have with Baxi as a leading employer in the sector.

“Collaborations like this ensure our apprentices have access to the very best equipment and training, helping them to gain the skills and experience they need to succeed in their careers.”
