Assessments

You will be required to undertake an end-point assessment which includes a practical observation and a professional discussion.

Entry Requirements

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you will need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

Progression

After the Level 2 apprenticeship, you could move on to a Level 3 apprenticeship. You could also move straight into the industry in your chosen engineering field.
