The broad purpose of this occupation is to offer engineering support, technical leadership and expertise. Examples can include support for installation, refit, overhaul, alteration, upgrading, design and maintenance. They can also provide support for testing of significant assets, systems or machinery. They carry out inspections on systems, equipment, and components. They may lead to the commissioning back into operation after maintenance and overhaul.
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. A Level 3 qualification in a similar sector or significant experience is also required for this qualification.
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.
