Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What You'll Do at Work

You’ll learn all aspects of sign making and vehicle graphics, working alongside our experienced team. Your days will include:
- Preparing artwork
- Operating digital printers and vinyl cutters
- Producing signs
- Applying vinyl and vehicle graphics
- Assisting with vehicle wraps
- Finishing and installing signage
You’ll work on real customer projects, both in our Widnes workshop and occasionally on site.
