What is a Manufacturing Engineering Apprenticeship?
The manufacturing Apprenticeships are an ‘earn and learn’ higher certificate and degree programmes that combine on-the-job training with academic study.
These two and three-year programmes lead to a level 6 Higher Cert and a level 7 Bachelor of Engineering in manufacturing engineering from your local University. You’ll learn the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary for a successful career in manufacturing and beyond. You’ll also earn a salary as you study – so what are you waiting for?
