4 GCSEs at Grade C/4 or equivalent, including English, maths and a science. As part of the apprenticeship recruitment process, all candidates will take part in an initial assessment and will need to achieve a Level 1 in English and maths to be able to join the programme.
This course aims to develop the knowledge and skills of Technicians who primarily work on all stages of product creation and modification. The curriculum supports activities where apprentices work in environments which include early concept feasibility, design and development stages right through to final preparation for launch to customers. The apprenticeship work could include concept studios, rapid prototyping, assembly, testing, validating and analysing performance. Feel free to contact us for additional information or to answer any questions.
