This apprenticeship runs over a minimum of four years. You will be completing on-the-job learning and uploading evidence of this to an e-portfolio, at the same time as studying for a BEng (Hons) in either:
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Manufacturing Engineering with Mechanical Design, or
- Manufacturing Engineering with Electronics.
This academic study will make up 20% of the course and is delivered through 'blended learning' — a combination of face-to-face and online teaching. Face-to-face sessions will be in blocks and online learning can include group webinars, independent activities or reading for half a day per week between the block study sessions.
