Students will also work towards achieving a Level 3 City & Guilds 2850 Diploma in Engineering.

Martin Eatough (ECITB Head of Apprenticeships) – “ This is an excellent opportunity for those students who are currently studying for or in the process of applying for an Engineering qualification and are looking for an opportunity to secure an Apprenticeship or full time employment within the engineering sector. The programme will allow them to achieve all of the year one components of a formal Apprenticeship and, on completion of the programme, make them very attractive to potential employers”
