  • Apprenticeships

    The Apprenticeship in Engineering scheme provides the best possible preparation to achieving trained operator/semi skilled status within the industry.  It may also, where appropriate, provide positive progression to an Advanced Apprenticeship or higher-level work. 

    Below is a list of sub-occupations that the framework is suitable for:

    • Aerospace assembly
    • Automotive assembly
    • Casting assembly
    • Electronics engineering assembly
    • Lift maintenance
    • Mechanical engineering
    • Maintenance
    • Marine/Boatbuilding
    • Materials engineering
    • Ship building and repair
    • Test technician
    • Welding and fabrication

    In engineering, the Apprenticeship framework must meet the needs of very different types of employers and very different levels of work, across the diversity of engineering sectors, including the sophisticated sectors of electronics and semi-conductor technology. The framework must also cater for modern work methods in industry such as lean manufacture, team and cell working, and modern manufacture and control techniques.

    Advanced Apprenticeships

    Whilst the Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering scheme provides the best possible preparation to achieving skilled and/or technician status within the industry, it may also, where appropriate, provide positive progression to Higher Education or higher-level work.
