What You Will Study

On this programme you will study towards the product design pathway

  • Pearson BTEC Diploma Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Technical Knowledge)
  • EAL NVQ Diploma in Engineering Technical Support Level 3

The apprentice will have a depth and breadth of English and mathematics that allow them to operate successfully within their role. This may be met through entry criteria determined by the employer or qualifications and training within the apprenticeship. However, on completion all apprentices will have minimum Level 2 qualifications in English and Maths.

  • Attendance Expectations

    A mixture of day release and employer based.

  • How You Will Be Assessed

    There will be continuous assessment of both your practical skills and theoretical knowledge.

  • Entry Requirements

    Candidates must have an employer willing to support the requirements of the apprenticeship standard. Individual employers will set the selection criteria for their apprenticeships.

    This will typically include a requirement for a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 9-4 (or equivalent qualifications) including Maths, English and a Science or Technical subject.

    Apprentices must have achieved a GCSE to at least a Grade 4, a Level 2 qualification in Functional Skills, or an equivalent qualification in both English and Maths before being entered for their final apprenticeship assessment.

    If you do not have these, we can assess your current level of English/Maths.
