Whilst there are no qualifications within this standard apprentices will study a wide range of subjects relevant to their role within the workplace ranging from, mechanical principles, hydraulics/pneumatics, delivery of engineering processes safely as a team, product design and manufacturing engineering, electrical and electronic principles, CAD (Computer Aided Drawing), electronic devices and circuits and maintenance of mechanical system.
