Usually starts off in a college course to get basic skills and awareness, then into the workplace to learn from other craftsmen. Nowadays this is very formal and what you are expected to learn, even at work, is covered by the modern apprenticeship scheme in the form of modules. All through the apprenticeship you will generally be expected to attend college in day release.
In my experience failed apprentices are the ones who cannot commit to the college part of the apprenticeship thinking being good with their hands will be enough. Unfortunately for them most employers do not agree.

more detail obviously what ever type you are taught relevent information & skills to enable you to perform the job in a safe & competent manner . I served my time in the plumbing industry hard going some of the time , you have to take the good with the bad , clean with the dirty . Good engineers are trained , not born , the joy of completing a job well , never leaves a skilled craftsman , so far anyway , 44years now since 15 man & boy . If your are serious go for it ,good luck good engineers will always be required .

You will carry out the usual tasks of a qualified engineer under his supervision. You will have to write reports on the tasks carried out. You will have to maintain a NVQ portfolio of all tasks undertaken which will be assessed at a college by an NVQ assessor. After about 3 or 4 years. You will then qualify at the lowest level of qualified engineer. The NVQ portfolio has to maintained to the highest standard.

As the guy said, learns his trade from an engineer. The trouble with this country (UK) is we don't treat engineering with the respect it deserves.
People tend to respect some shiny bummed office type rather than someone who can design, build and/or maintain complex technology.
By the way, you need algebra.
