This apprenticeship course is designed for the technicians in a position of working with propulsion systems. The Propulsion Technician (PT) is responsible for the testing or building function to support the development of propulsion systems such as internal combustion engines, hybrid and electric propulsion technology and advanced control systems. The PT would be responsible for enabling the execution of development plans which fulfil the internal customer’s and facility’s requirements for quality, cost and time, whilst adhering to safe systems of work and risk management. The PT also carries out a range of specialist tasks in a controlled environment in order to develop, improve or create new propulsion technologies. The PT plays a proactive role in development build or test delivery, taking responsibility for creating, editing, first line data analysis and quality validation, providing an essential link between the propulsion development function and engineers. This standard covers various options of Propulsion functional which are identified on the course information sheet. To get the very best out of this Propulsion standard the relationship between the Employer, Apprentice and Assessor is critical, working together and effectively communication a true measure of success.
