Engineering Manufacturing Technician Level 4

ST0841

The Level 4 Engineering Manufacturing Technician apprenticeship gives our learners the flexibility and capability to become high performing technicians by exploring the integrated nature of engineering.

The broad purpose of an Engineering Manufacturing Technician is to provide specialist technical support for engineers, so that organisations can develop, produce or test new and existing products, processes, or procedures to meet a customer specification in terms of quality, cost and delivery, as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Additionally, the industry-recognised apprenticeship (incorporating an HNC) provides the next development step for employees. For those employees who are working in, or aspiring to progress to higher level technical roles in their organisation with the potential to further develop into a leadership position. This apprenticeship is an ideal progression opportunity for Level 3 qualified apprentices.

At least one of the following should be met to meet our recommended course entry requirements:

  • A* to C grade and/or 9 to 4 in GCSE Maths (or equivalent) is strongly recommended
  • A BTEC Level 3 qualification in Engineering
  • A GCE Advanced Level profile that demonstrates strong performance in a relevant subject or adequate performance in more than one GCE subject
  • This profile is likely to be supported by GCSE grades at A* to C and/or 9 to 4 (or equivalent)
  • Other related Level 3 qualifications
  • An Access to Higher Education Diploma awarded by an approved further education institution
  • Related work experience
  • An international equivalent of the above

We will consider the applicants’ prior learning when considering their acceptance on a Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals, through Recognition of Prior Learning.
We use also an online assessment tool, called Selectahead that identifies the strengths and development areas of applicants seeking a career in Engineering.

The portal confirms an applicant’s ability to undertake a Higher Apprenticeship and or Foundation Degree. The assessment is grouped into seven areas:

  • Mechanical Reasoning
  • Principles of Measurement
  • Understanding Electrical Principles
  • Spatial Relationships
  • Problem Solving
  • Numeracy and Literacy
