Engineering Maintenance Apprenticeship Level 3
Summary
“Engineers design and build things that make our world go round. Everything, from aeroplanes to building, comes back to engineering. This hugely diverse field can be divided into seven sub-categories: aerospace, automotive, metals, electrical equipment, electronics, marine maintenance, and mechanical engineering.” – National Apprenticeship Service
This apprenticeship is for people who want to become qualified in Engineering Maintenance, and is a follow on course from the Performing Engineering Operations Apprenticeship.
An apprenticeship is a great way to gain a new qualification while staying in your current job and earning money. At the end of the course, you will have a nationally recognised qualification and no debts to pay! Over 85% of our engineering apprentices are offered permanent positions by their employers once they have completed their apprenticeship.
With a Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Maintenance, you are qualified to the level of a craftsperson or technician. In the future, you could work as a CAD draughtsperson, engineering maintenance fitter, engineering maintenance technician, quality control inspector or in technical support. Thereafter you could progress to the position of a senior team leader, senior project leader, manager, engineer, project manager, technical manager, programme manager or programme director.
You may be interested in studying further and enrol in a Diploma in Engineering Leadership, Diploma in Business Improvement, Diploma in People Management, FdSc Engineering, HNC Engineering or a BSc (Hons) Mechanical Design and Manufacture.
