Prentisiaid Tyrbinau Gwynt Yn Dathlu Blwyddyn Gyntaf Lwyddiannus

Cyflwynwyd tystysgrifau i ddeuddeg o dechnegwyr tyrbinau gwynt RWE yn ddiweddar. Llwyddodd pob un i gwblhau blwyddyn gyntaf eu hyfforddiant yn yr unig Ganolfan Hyfforddi ym maes Tyrbinau Gwynt yng Nghymru, sydd wedi'i lleoli ar gampws Coleg Llandrillo yn Llandrillo-yn-Rhos.

Wedi blwyddyn yn unig, maent wedi ennill Tystysgrif BTEC Lefel 3 mewn Peirianneg Gweithgynhyrchu Uwch a chymhwyster NVQ Lefel 2 C&G mewn Gwneud Gwaith Peirianneg.

Hanner ffordd drwy eu hail flwyddyn, maent yn awr yn dilyn cwrs Diploma C&G mewn Cynnal a Chadw Tyrbinau Gwynt (Gwybodaeth Dechnegol) ac yn ychwanegu unedau i'r cymhwyster NVQ Lefel 2.

Grŵp Llandrillo Menai eisoes yw canolfan hyfforddi'r DU ar gyfer Cynllun Prentisiaethau RWE Renewables, a bydd y Ganolfan Beirianneg gwerth £14 miliwn sy'n cael ei hadeiladu ar gampws y Rhyl hefyd yn cynnwys gweithdy pwrpasol ar gyfer prentisiaid a staff RWE.

Ar hyn o bryd mae 23 o weithwyr RWE hefyd yn dilyn cwrs Tystysgrif Genedlaethol Uwch (HNC), neu Ddiploma Cenedlaethol Uwch (HND) ym maes Peirianneg, trwy Grŵp Llandrillo Menai.

Gan siarad yn y seremoni gyflwyno'r wythnos diwethaf, dywedodd Pennaeth Gweithrediadau Alltraeth RWE (Gogledd y DU), John Mckenzie: "Mae cwblhau'r Fframwaith Lefel 2 yn garreg filltir bwysig yn natblygiad y prentisiaid. Mae'n wych eu gweld yn gwneud cynnydd da yng Ngholeg Llandrillo, ac rydw i'n falch ein bod yn cael cyfle i gydnabod eu llwyddiant yn y seremoni heddiw.

"Rydw i'n edrych ymlaen at ddilyn eu gyrfaoedd dros y blynyddoedd nesaf wrth iddyn nhw sefydlu eu hunain fel technegwyr medrus ar ffermydd gwynt presennol RWE ac ar y rhai rydym wrthi'n eu datblygu."

Meddai Marc McDonough, hyfforddwr ac aseswr Coleg Llandrillo ym maes Tyrbinau Gwynt,

"Rydym yn falch iawn o gael parhau i weithio mewn partneriaeth â RWE Renewables i hyfforddi pobl ifanc ar gyfer y diwydiant ynni adnewyddadwy hwn sy'n prysur dyfu. Mae gennym raglen brentisiaeth lwyddiannus ar gyfer ynni hydro, ynni gwynt alltraeth ac ynni gwynt ar y tir ac edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gyda RWE Renewables am lawer o flynyddoedd eto."

Dechreuodd y grŵp cyntaf o dechnegwyr dan hyfforddiant ym maes tyrbinau gwynt - a ddewiswyd o blith dros 660 ymgeisydd yn dilyn proses ddethol drwyadl a barodd sawl mis - eu hyfforddiant ar gampws Llandrillo-yn-Rhos ym mis Medi 2012.

After only one year, they’ve attained the BTEC Level 3 Certificate in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and a C&G NVQ Level 2 in Performing Engineering Operations.

Midway through their second year, they are now undertaking a C&G level 3 Diploma in Wind Turbine Maintenance (Technical Knowledge) and additional units to the NVQ Level 2.

Grŵp Llandrillo Menai is already the UK training centre for the RWE Renewables UK Apprenticeships scheme, and a purpose-built workshop for RWE apprentices and staff will also be housed in the brand new £14 million Engineering Centre, currently under development in Rhyl.

Twenty three of RWE’s employees are also currently studying towards obtaining a Higher National Certificate (HNC), or Higher National Diploma (HND) in Engineering, through Grŵp Llandrillo Menai.

Speaking at last week’s presentation ceremony, RWE’s Head of Offshore Operations (UK North), John Mckenzie, said: “The completion of the Level 2 framework marks a key milestone in the development of the apprentices. It’s great to see them progressing well at Coleg Llandrillo, and I’m glad that we get a chance to recognise their achievements with the presentation today.

“I’m looking forward to following their careers over the next few years as they establish themselves as highly-skilled, wind turbine technicians, working on RWE’s existing wind farms, as well as those currently in development.”

Coleg Llandrillo’s Wind Turbine trainer & assessor Mark McDonough, said,

“We are very pleased to continue working in partnership with RWE Renewables to train young persons for the ever-growing renewable power industry. We have a proven successful apprenticeship programme for hydro, offshore, and onshore wind power and look forward to many more years working with RWE Renewables.”

The first ever cohort of trainee wind turbine technicians - who were selected out of over 660 applicants after a rigorous selection process taking many months - started their training at Coleg Llandrillo’s Rhos-on-Sea campus in September 2012.
