What will I do as an Engineering Technician (Technical Support Mechanical) Apprentice?
Starting in September 2024, you will learn and develop engineering skills and knowledge through onsite work placements, whilst also studying for nationally recognised qualifications. You will learn a range of skills including assembly of products, machining and maintenance of equipment. You will study for a Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Manufacturing Engineering – Technical Support.
You will attend Gloucester College for two days per week for the first two years where you learn practical and theoretical engineering knowledge in a range of subjects. For the remainder of the week you will be onsite in Tewkesbury,
Training, assessments and observations will also be completed in the workplace. This can be supported by some remote delivery if required. On successful completion of your level 3 qualification, there is the opportunity to progress to a HNC in electrical or mechanical engineering if the business need exists
Who is this apprenticeship for?
Operation areas can be challenging, fast-paced and highly demanding, where deadlines must be met and work and products are produced to a high standard. This pathway will appeal to people who work well under pressure and are flexible enough to deal with the changing demands of production techniques.
