Engineering and manufacturing Support Technicians support the work of engineers through the provision of technical support and expertise for areas of the engineering and manufacturing function. This typically could include engineering drawing, computer aided design (CAD), quality control, computerised numerical control programming (CNC), robotics, additive manufacturing, engineering or manufacturing software development and process engineering.
Our expectation is that all Apprentices should already possess English and Mathematics to a GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent. However, we will consider applicants without these grades subject to an initial assessment with one of the Apprenticeship Team.
There will be a day release element to the Apprenticeship, which will see you undertaking taught lessons at HSDC for one day a week, with the other four days being spent at your place of work for on-the-job training, with a monthly (tbc) visit from your Apprenticeship Assessor. There will also be a 1-3 months End Point Assessment period.
Apprentices can be taught via classroom delivery, work-based learning/assessment and vocational “on-and-off-the-job training”. This is always dependent on the course requirements, the preferences of the business and the wishes of the learner.
Observation & professional discussion.
On completion, you can progress in industry or onto a degree Apprenticeship.
Opportunities may exist to gain professional accreditation in your chosen field post completion of the qualification. Your Assessor will support you with information on gaining professional accreditation. As we work with Apprentices that are already employed, if you attend our day release programmes you will mix with a diverse range of businesses with Apprentices in the same sector.
