Advanced Apprenticeship Aeronautical Engineering in Worksop

Advanced Apprenticeship- Aeronautical Engineering
The Advanced Apprenticeship provides learners with the appropriate Training and Qualifications in Aeronautical Engineering and prepares the learners for the Needs of Employers involved in Aeronautical Engineering.

Upon succesful completion of the Advanced Apprenticeship, learners will have achieved:

• NVQ Level 3 in Aeronautical Engineering
• Btec National Diploma in Aerospace Engineering
• Level 2 Key Skill in Application of Number
• Level 2 Key Skill in Communication
• Level 2 Key Skill in Information Technology
• Level 2 Key Skill in Working with Others
• Level 2 Key Skill in Improving Own Learning

College policy is to recruit with integrity so if you do not have the entry requirements or you have other relevant qualifications your application will be considred independently. All applicants will undertake initial diagnost tests and a personal interview before being accepted on the course.

Duration
Aporximately 26 months
