About the course
About the programme
Are you a practical kind of person who enjoys making things work? Or perhaps you are seeking an engineering apprenticeship?
Either way, this is the programme for you and is the perfect qualification for those wishing to enter the engineering trades.
Mechanical Engineering involves the design, manufacture and maintenance of machinery, equipment and tools, and roles may include a CNC Machine Operator, Machine Operator, Specialist Production Welder, Metal Worker/Fabricator, Ducting Fabricator, Pipe Fitter/Welder, Metal Polisher or a Pattern Maker Trade Assistant. The industry has experienced significant growth over recent years due to developments in engineering processes.
Due to this, there are numerous employment opportunities in areas such as toolmaking, fitting and machining, and trades associated with the heavy and light fabrication industries. With a responsible attitude, you may even step up into project management.
This hands-on, pre-apprenticeship programme will give you ample opportunity to work within our workshops and to gain valuable off-site work experience.
Upon completion, you will have achieved the academic requirements of the first year of an industry apprenticeship. This may reduce the time for you to complete out in industry down to two years.
