Designed for Impact
Our Level 3 Engineering Manufacturing Technician apprenticeship is delivered through a continuous block release model, accelerating learner development and their contribution to your team. Programmes are co-designed with employers, ensuring each apprentice’s journey is tailored to maximise both off-the-job and on-the-job training impact.
Training begins with a six-week foundation block, embedding safe working practices and core engineering skills. Apprentices then follow a rhythm of two-week training blocks, interspersed with structured on-the-job learning at your site.
We go beyond technical excellence by offering a comprehensive enrichment programme, equipping apprentices with essential soft skills for long-term success. Throughout, both learners and managers benefit from dedicated coaching and support, delivered both onsite and remotely by our expert team.
