The next generation of Transport Planning Technician Apprentices has been secured through CIHT being recognised as meeting the Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) General Conditions of Recognition. As a result, CIHT will continue to be the only End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAOs) for the Transport Planning Technician Apprenticeship and will now be Ofqual recognised from 25 November 2022

Sue Percy CBE, Chief Executive, CIHT said:

“Apprenticeships are an important way for our industry to encourage more people into highways and transportation and provide employees with the necessary skills to succeed. The diversity of thought that apprentices bring to their employers will play an important role in helping our sector provide the solutions for the challenges we face."

“This recognition underlines CIHT’s commitment to running high quality, industry specific professional qualifications. It is fitting that during ‘Tomorrow Engineer’s week’ when we promote the value of our sector to the next generation that we are able to highlight this.”

“We look forward to supporting our current apprentices as they work towards their level 3 Transport Planning Technician Apprenticeship and onto their registration as Engineering Technician (EngTech).”

CIHT has developed a raft of supporting resources and guidance documents for apprentices here.
