The NWAA is keen to make more companies and their apprentices aware of this award to encourage a large number of good quality submissions in the future.
The candidates are judged on their first year performance, with each apprentice submitting at least two ‘test’ pieces for scrutiny. These test pieces also form the basis of their interview questions. Their own planning sheets and drawings must be available along with the test pieces for judging.
