What You Will Study
On this programme you will study towards the mechatronics pathway:
- Level 2 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Foundation Competence)
- Level 2 Award for Foundation Phase Gateway Assessment
After a further period of skills and technical knowledge development all apprentices will be required to achieve the following qualifications:
- Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Competence) – Mechatronics Maintenance Technician
- Level 3 Diploma or Extended Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Knowledge)
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 apprentices.
Most candidates will have achieved GCSEs at Grade 9-4 in English and Maths and a STEM - related subject at Level 2 prior to commencement of apprenticeship.
