Higher Apprenticeships in Engineering* A Higher Apprenticeship in Engineering is a great way to achieve a Higher National Certificate (HNC) while still working in industry and developing your skills and knowledge. The apprenticeship also assesses competency in your job role and ensures you are working towards professional standards. We currently offer the following higher apprenticeships in engineering: > Automation and Advanced Manufacturing > Maintenance Engineering > Mechanical Engineering > Electrical/Electronic Engineering > Instrumentation and Control Engineering If you have progressed from an Advanced Apprenticeship, a Level 3 vocational qualification or A levels, then you may be considered for a higher apprenticeship. We will work with your organisation to select the correct pathway and HNC which aligns to your job role. As a higher apprentice, you will develop behavioural safety skills in areas such as working at heights or confined spaces, using our dedicated training area. We will work with your employer to include training to suit the needs of your industry. At the end of your higher apprenticeship, you may progress onto a HND or part-time degree programme. We will also assist with your application for professional recognition through the Engineering Council for Incorporated Engineer status.
