Currently half way through running the annual British Drilling Association SAP Apprenticeship. We are mid way through teaching at the Soil Engineering Geoservices Limited head office in Leeds. We have been working with Soil Engineering for over 40 years and their fantastic facilities are a great place to for apprentices to learn about how their samples are tested in a laboratory. Today we started Module 4 - Drilling Applications and apprentices from BAM UK & Ireland, Causeway Geotech Ltd and GreenGlove Boreholes will be looking at a variety of Drilling Applications including; Dynamic Sampling, Cable Percussive, Rotary and Sonic. Special thanks to Simon Baxter for guest speaking today - the apprentices gained a fantastic insight into sampling techniques and the importance of good samples.The apprenticeship is a one of a kind programme which leads to producing some of the best drillers in the country.Land Drilling NVQ Ltd not only teach the apprentices a range of different modules but also secure a range of leading industry professionals to pass on valuable information and complete fantastic demonstrations putting what apprentices learn in the classroom into real life scenarios.
