What course will you do?
For those looking to start their career in engineering, our Level 3 Engineering Fitter apprenticeship would be for you. The duration of this apprenticeship is typically 42 months.
If you are looking to further develop your engineering career or take the next step in education, then our Level 4 HNC Engineering Manufacturing Technician Apprenticeship is the perfect pathway. This apprenticeship would take around 30 months to complete.
What will happen at the end of your Apprenticeship?
All our apprenticeships are offered with the intention of making a full time, permanent offer on successful completion of the programme.
Once you have completed your apprenticeship you can continue your employment as normal although, some choose to continue their education with a degree apprenticeship!
Other progression opportunities can be found across the whole business. We pride ourselves on internal promotions and promote opportunities for all to progress in their careers while being a part of the Anord Mardix journey.
Level 3 Engineering Fitter:
Although GCSEs are desired, we recognise that not everyone achieves these grades first time. We look to offer apprenticeships before results day and would not retract an apprenticeship offer if the grades were not that of those predicted. If you did not achieve your Maths or English, we will support you through a Functional skills course alongside the apprenticeship. We look for hardworking, reliable, and motivated candidates these are the qualifications we look for the most!
Level 4 HNC Engineering Manufacturing Technician:
Applicants must be 18 years of age or over and should have the following qualifications as a minimum:
– Level 3 qualification in a related Engineering subject (NVQ, BTEC) or
– A-Levels in relevant subjects, e.g., Maths, Physics, Chemistry
Applications with no formal qualifications but with a wide engineering background may be considered, as will applicants who have different qualifications to those listed above.
