About the apprenticeships

Our core programme is a four year Level 3 Engineering Technician in Mechatronics Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET Accredited) which means you’ll develop as a multi-skilled electrical, mechanical and electronics technician – perfect if you’re undecided on a specialism or would like to be trained in a variety of disciplines.  We are currently able to offer this to a new entrant at the start of the first year of the programme, or to an existing apprentice looking to transfer from an existing programme due to not having an employer or other global and/or economic circumstances outside of their control.
