Apprenticeship Standards available include: Engineering Technician, Machinist Technician, Engineering Fitter, Plate Welder and Metal Fabricator.

Gain practical experience in a wide range of engineering processes. You may be working in a range of disciplines, such as engineering maintenance, mechanical manufacturing, fabrication and welding, quality control or technical support.

You will:

• Develop your practical workplace skills relevant to your job role
• Understand the theory behind these skills and learn how to translate engineering terms on to paper
• Learn how to work safely and efficiently in an engineering environment
• Use industry leading equipment in areas such as automation or CAD/CAM
• Develop numeracy, literacy and IT skills

This Apprenticeship is ideal if you would like to develop your skills and knowledge having successfully completed the Engineering Operative Apprenticeship. You will work effectively and efficiently, have a high attention to detail and be practically minded.

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you ideally 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. Students will need to have achieved Engineering Operative Level 2 to progress on to this course.

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