Our range of leisure and hobby courses keeps growing, with even more fun and exciting courses starting throughout 2024.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technicians maintain the safety, integrity and effective operation of plant and equipment in the role of Electrical Technicians; Mechanical Technicians; Control & Instrumentation Technicians; Wind Turbine Technicians Electrical System and Process Control Technicians; Electromechanical Technicians and Plant Operations Technicians.
They will be responsible for the quality of their own work, possibly others’; and ensuring the work is completed safely, meets stakeholder quality, time and budget requirements, whilst maintaining the efficient running of plant and equipment.
To build these knowledge, skills and behaviours in apprentices, this provision contains an NVQ and BTEC qualification. The NVQ build work-place competency in preparation for the Practical Observation and Technical Interview while the BTEC qualification builds knowledge about relevant engineering theories and principles relative to their occupation and prepare apprentices for the knowledge assessment part of their End Point Assessment (EPA). The EPA contains three summative assessments including the Independent Knowledge Assessment, a Practical Observation and a Technical Interview.
STEM building
The college has built a multi-million pound facility at Crawley College that puts the college at the cutting edge of training delivery in electrical electronic. The new building is home to a suite of modern teaching and interactive spaces, which integrate the use of technology and STEM (science, technology, engineering & maths) in to its curriculum.

Possible progression into higher level apprenticeships and potential continuous employment in company.
You will be assessed with a portfolio of evidence (recorded on Onefile) and complete an End Point Assessment (EPA) at the end of the course.
There is no cost to an apprentice.
If you are an employer employing an apprentice over the age 21 (without an EHCP) then you are likely to pay 5% towards the training cost.
If you are an employer with an Apprenticeship levy (i.e. your payroll exceeds £3 Million) then you will pay in full from your levy account.
Your employer will provide you with personal protective equipment that you will use when working as well as in our dedicated engineering workshops.
