You want to pursue a career in the mechanical or manufacturing engineering industry.

About Engineering techniques and principles, how to use lathes, milling machines, welding equipment and produce mechanical drawings using a CAD system.

Developing your wider skills:    as well as providing you with the technical skills and knowledge in your chosen area, the Traineeship will help you to develop a range of transversal skills that are important for employment including:   Problem solving, Teamwork, Communication, Time management, Entrepreneurship

The industry standard machinery in our workshops giving you practical experience.

Project Based Learning will also be a key feature of Traineeships. ​This is a dynamic approach to learning in which you will explore real-world problems and challenges that have been developed with employers. With this type of active and engaged learning, you will be inspired to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects you are studying and develop a wide range of hands-on skills.

Successful completion allows you to progress to the Level 3 qualification in Engineering under the apprenticeship programme if you secure employment or alternatively to FE at Level 3.
