Engineering Technician Apprenticeship

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 Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/ CAM)
• Develop numeracy, literacy and IT skills

Apprentices will need to be working towards and achieve the following job role requirements before their end point assessment:

• Apply safe systems of working
• Make a technical contribution to either the design, development, quality assurance, manufacture, installation, commissioning, decommissioning, operation or maintenance of products, equipment, systems, processes or services
• Apply proven techniques and procedures to solve engineering/manufacturing problems
• Demonstrate effective interpersonal skills in communicating both technical and non-technical information
• Have a commitment to continued professional development

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 the Level 2 Engineering Operative Apprenticeship to progress on to this course.

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