A wide variety of occupations and allied trades comes under the broad heading of engineering. Your training will depend upon the programme that you choose and to some extent the employer with whom you are placed. Occupations are allied to mechanical, electrical, fabrication and welding related crafts.

Entry requirements vary, depending on the programme that you choose; some programmes require no formal qualifications but learners will need good passes at GCSE to embark upon an Apprenticeship. All learners will need to show commitment to engineering and an aptitude in their chosen skill area.
