Engineering Fitter Apprenticeship

During the apprenticeship, you will develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to work as a competent engineering fitter, including:

• Interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, diagrams and work instructions.
• Planning engineering tasks and preparing materials, resources, tools and equipment.
• Producing and refurbishing engineering components and assemblies.
• Assembling complex equipment, machinery and systems.
• Using engineering hand tools, power tools and measuring equipment safely.
• Carrying out testing, inspection, calibration and quality assurance activities.
• Diagnosing faults and solving engineering problems.
• Understanding engineering materials, manufacturing processes and assembly techniques.
• Applying health, safety and environmental requirements in the workplace.
• Contributing to continuous improvement activities and efficient engineering operations.
• Completing engineering and quality documentation accurately.

Apprentices are assessed against the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the occupational standard. Throughout the programme, apprentices demonstrate competence in planning, manufacturing, assembly, inspection, fault diagnosis and quality assurance activities, ensuring they can perform safely and effectively within an engineering environment.

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you will need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.
