DAF apprenticeship students take home medals at national skills competition

Two DAF students secured

podium positions at the recent WorldSkills UK National Finals, walking away with a bronze and silver medal, after succeeding in a seven-month process which included regional heats and intensive training before stepping up to put their skills against the best of the best in early November.

The winners were announced at a special live programme from Channel 4’s Packed Lunch Studios, presented by Steph McGovern. Two City of Bristol College students were among the winners of the Heavy Vehicle Technology category.

Daniel Parker, who is completing his apprenticeship at Adams Morey Ltd, was presented with the silver medal while Andrew Hill, who is working at Motus Commercials, was handed the bronze medal. City of Bristol College works in partnership with DAF Trucks Ltd as the leading provider of our apprenticeship programme, training hundreds of apprentices from across the country in the heavy vehicle trade. The apprentices work in a bespoke DAF workshop at our Motor Vehicle Technology Centre near Bristol Parkway, complete with several trucks of differing shapes and sizes.

Congratulations, Daniel and Andrew!
