Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship

An Electrical Engineering Apprentice will develop underpinning knowledge and gain experience designing and developing electrical systems and components, solving problems and testing equipment. You will apply the physics and mathematics of electricity, electromagnetism and electronics to both large and small scale systems to process information and transmit energy.

Topics include:

• Analytical methods for engineers
• Engineering science
• Project design, implementation and evaluation
• Electrical and electronic principles
• Engineering design
• Quality and business improvement
• Programmable logic controllers
• Electrical power
• Advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD) techniques
• Principles and applications of microcontrollers

Example job roles include: Electrical Engineer/Maintenance Engineer/Field Service Engineer/System Designer/Telecommunication Engineer

You will achieve:

• Engineering Technician Apprenticeship Standard
• Engineering HNC
• End Point Assessment
• If required: Functional Skills (English, Maths)

Next steps: Some Apprentices go straight into employment working within a range of organisations; maintaining, designing, or creating. Typical employers include local authorities, the armed forces, power and water companies, renewable energy firms and building services contractors.

Learners should have completed the Level 3 Engineering Apprenticeship, alongside a C/4 in Maths and English or equivalent. Applications will be considered for those students who have completed a period of employment who don’t have a full level 3.

If you are 19 or over, functional skills are not required unless requested by the apprentice’s employer.

Apprentices have access to all facilities across College. These include the College Learning Resource Centres (LRCs) and the College Gym.

Our world class Technology Centre provides aerospace, engineering and automotive students with state of the art equipment and learning spaces. Our CAD design suite includes 25 computers running the latest industry software, and the CAM workshop contains CNC machining equipment to give you an understanding of modern automated manufacture.
