Description:

The Manufacturing Apprenticeship scheme, provides a variety of experiences in both technical and non-technical disciplines. Manufacturing Apprenticeships are between three and four years.

In the first year of the programme, you will attend college to undertake a Performing Engineering Operations Level 2 qualification and the first year of the Engineering Diploma, Higher National Certificate (HNC). You will also complete Core Skills at Int 2 Level. On the successful completion of your apprenticeship, there may be an opportunity for you to obtain additional qualifications.

After your first year, you will attend college on day release to complete an Engineering Diploma, HNC (again depending on your chosen Apprentice scheme), and begin National/Scottish Vocational Qualification (N/SVQ) Level 3. You will also attend in-house training programmes to develop skills and knowledge related to the various operations and projects.
 
During the scheme, you will gain a good overview of the business through a variety of work placements. These will see you designing and building systems, supporting engineering functions and carrying out comprehensive testing and reporting. Not all placements are practical and hands-on: research for example, involves report writing and data analysis to support and develop engineering activities.
