The SkillFRIDGE 2018 Competition has come to Burnley! PRTC were delighted to host the penultimate regional heat for the RACHP Skills competition which gives talented apprentices around the UK a chance to test their skills and connect with other aspiring young engineers within the industry.
WorldSkills UK is an Industry based set of competitions that test the technical skills of apprentices from across the country and allow them to compete to be the best in their chosen field.
Aimed to help improve apprenticeships and technical education through Skills Competitions, PRTC were pleased to welcome this year’s regional competitors and industry judges.

Once the regional stage is completed all competitors will be ranked according to the scores they received during the heats. Only the top six highest scores from the regional heats will qualify to compete at the national skill competition finals at Worldskills UK LIVE Skill Show for a chance at winning the prestigious individual Gold medal and the SkillFRIDGE Shield.
We wish all our competitors the best of luck in the upcoming competition.
