Who is this course for?
|
The Apprenticeship in Engineering Framework provides the best possible preparation to achieving trained/semi skilled status within the industry. It may also,where appropriate, provide positive progression to Advanced Apprenticeship or higher-level work.
|
|
Previous knowledge required:
|
This framework does not impose any restrictions on entry such as minimum levels of qualification. However for entry onto the programme, candidates must be able to demonstrate the potential to achieve NVQ L2 and have sufficient knowledge and ability to undertake training to achieve Key Skills at Levels 1 and 2 and a suitable technical certificate at L2.
Apprentices on the programme should be either:
Directly employed by an employer and on their payroll
Based with an employer but not directly employed, and paid an allowance by the employer
Based with a provider and placed with an employer who will provide work based learning opportunities.
It is recommended that the apprentice has employed status, but it is recognised that there will be situations where this is not possible.

|
What will I study?
|
NVQ - this qualification structure is made up of a number of units that everyone must do, together with a range of optional units to give the qualification sufficient breadth and to cover the variations across industry for a given occupation or range of related occupations.
Key Skills - Key Skills are essential skills which candidates need to function effectively as members of a flexible, adaptable and competitive workforce.
Technical Certificate - technical certificates focus on the knowledge and understanding which underpins the NVQ competencies and additional knowledge to facilitate progression to Higher Education or higher levels of working.
|
|
What else will I do?
|
Initial Engineering Training (IET) - this is intended to equip apprentices with basic engineering skills, knowledge and understanding. It provides a firm platform on which further work-based skills development can be based. The mandatory outcomes of IET are three certified units from the NVQ L2 Performing Engineering Operations.
These mandatory units are:
Unit 1 - Working safely in an engineering environment
Unit 3 - Using and communicating technical information
Unit 4 - Identifying and selecting engineering materials
Employer Responsibilities and Rights (ERR) - includes material covering:
The responsibilities and rights of workers (including Equal Opportunities)
The organisation, disciplines and representative structures of the industries concerned
The impact on the sector of public law and policies
|
|
How will I be assessed?
|
|
|
What will I achieve?
|
The successful candidate will receive an Apprenticeship completion certificate from SEMTA. This is a separate form, and in addition to, those certificates awarded for their achievement of the individual components of the framework e.g. NVQ, Key Skills and Technical certificate.
