If you enjoy working as part of a team, like solving problems and have a practical flair, you’ll find our Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeships have a lot to offer. Our training facilities at our Blackburn site is where you’ll learn how to use the latest machinery and equipment to prepare you for your career.
Engineers can work in high-tech environments using state-of-the-art equipment. They are inventors, designers and problem solvers – people who make a difference to the way we live. As trained professionals, engineers are well paid and highly respected. Many get top jobs and even run their own companies. As an engineer you could become an electrical engineer, a civil engineer, a manufacturing or a design engineer.
Delivering high level, industry-led training courses is what we do. As an engineering provider of advanced technical and academic skills, we work closely with employers to nurture and develop the employees they need for the future.
The 4 week course is delivered in our high-tech engineering workshops and is designed to give young people an insight into different areas of engineering. It offers the chance to gain hands-on experience whilst producing engineering activities by using our machinery and other equipment.
This is an opportunity to prepare for your Engineering Apprenticeship.

Welding is a way to make high strength joints between two or more parts. General Welders use high electrical energy to form an arc. Manual dexterity is essential in controlling the arc, which is used to melt metals, allowing them to fuse together to form a structurally sound weld.
Plate welding is an exciting and hands-on career where you use advanced welding techniques to build and repair massive structures like bridges, ships, wind turbines, and even armoured vehicles. You’ll work with different metals, using high-tech welding tools to ensure strong, high-quality joins.
Engineering and manufacturing support technicians help engineers by providing hands-on support and technical know-how.
Engineering Fitters produce complex high value, low volume components or assemblies in full or part, using machines, equipment or systems, to the required specification.
Fabricators in the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and Construction engineering sector are predominantly involved in highly skilled, complex, specialist and detailed work covering a wide range of common and job specific skills sets that can be transferred across the wider engineering industry sectors during the course of their careers.
Mechatronics Maintenance Technicians ensure that plant and equipment perform to the required standard to facilitate production targets regarding safety, quality, delivery and cost within high value manufacturing environments.
Machining technicians produce complex and precision machined products that are typically used in machinery. For example, aeroplanes and vehicles. They can also produce bespoke components or products for domestic appliances or medical equipment.
Toolmakers and Tool & Die Maintenance Technicians are predominantly involved in the highly skilled, complex and specialist detailed work of manufacturing and maintaining the engineering tooling used to produce components, products and assemblies.
Engineering Manufacturing Technicians play a key role in ensuring organisations can design, develop, produce, and test products and processes that meet customer requirements efficiently, cost-effectively, and to the highest standards.
This role is all about using your engineering skills to make things work and work better. You’ll help design, upgrade, test, and maintain important systems, machinery, or equipment that keep industries moving.
