Higher Apprenticeship in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering
The manufacturing sector in England employs approximately 2.4 million people across nearly 120,000 establishments, with an estimated 1.27 million engineers, scientists and technologists working across the manufacturing sectors. Of these technical roles, around a third are employed in higher-level technical roles.
The main sub-occupations within the higher-level technical occupations are technicians, professionals, managers and quality assurance managers.
Despite the depth and breadth of this sector, it still faces challenges; for example, the workforce is ageing and 67,300 higher-level technical workers (13,400 per annum) are required over the period 2012-2016 to replace those retiring in England. In order to meet the challenges to fill higher-level occupational skills gaps, manufacturing employers have increased training activity/spend through programmes such as this Higher Apprenticeships framework.
You will study modules such as analytical and scientific fundamentals, and further development of statics, dynamics, engineering materials and CAD. You will complete the Level 4 NVQ Diploma/Extended Diploma, Level 4 HNC Diploma, HNC in Engineering and/ or Foundation Degree in Engineering (the required combination of qualifications is determined by the pathway).
We can offer specialism in one of the following areas: Mechanical
Electrical Maintenance
Fact file: Location College / Workplace
Duration Three years, full-time
Progression
This apprenticeship provides excellent preparation towards professional registration as an Engineering Technician and progression to Incorporated Engineer registration via the Level 6 framework. It may also, where appropriate, provide progression to a range of honours degrees.
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) recognise that this apprenticeship provides the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to allow apprentices to apply for Engineering Technician status within their institutions.
Entry Requirements
For information regarding entry requirements, please see page 9 or view full course details online. The pathway options within this Higher Apprenticeship framework cover a wide range of job roles in advanced manufacturing and engineering.
