you will study towards a level 6 manufacturing engineer with yeovil college

manufacturing engineers help take products from design to manufacture, ensuring that they are launched on time, at cost and to the right quality. This programme will provide a strong foundation across mechanical, electrical, digital, materials, product design and advanced manufacturing.

this is a 5-year programme delivered via an in‑person delivery model on campus. Over the first 4 years you will attend college on a day release basis to complete your academic studies and will embed your learning in the workplace through your day job. Year 5 will be 100% work‑based and will focus on the completion of your end point assessment.

at the end of the programme you will have achieved a beng in engineering, as well as a level 6 manufacturing engineer apprenticeship and will roll‑off the scheme into an industrial process engineer position in our underwater systems business.
