Apprenticeship Standard Knowledge and Skills
Role ProfileMechatronics 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. Typically the work would cover a broad range of activites including installation, testing, fault finding and the on-going planned maintenance of complex automated equipment. This requires the application of a complex blend of skills, knowledge and occupational behaviours across the electrical, electronic, mechanical, fluid power and control systems disciplines.
Mandatory Qualifications
ApprenticeshipEngineering Technician:
MechatronicsLevel 3
FOUNDATION PHASE - YEAR 1After a period of foundation skills and technical knowledge development, all Apprentices will be required to achieve the following qualifications:
• Level 2 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Foundation Competence)This qualification covers specific skills, knowledge and behaviours of a range of engineering disciplines, which have been developed in consultation with engineering industry specialists and training providers, to ensure that it meets the the needs of employers and learners. It covers a range of Apprenticeship Standards, developed across the advanced manufacturing and engineering sector.
• Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Knowledge)This qualification provides learners with a complex blend of skills, knowledge and occupational behaviours across Advanced Manufacturing Engineering disciplines. It takes a hands-on approach to training.
Gateway 1• Level 2 Award for Foundation Phase Gateway AssessmentThe Foundation Phase Gateway Assessment is intended to assess the Apprentice’s individual ability to apply the skills, knowledge and behaviours they have learnt and developed within the foundation phase of their Apprenticeship. This qualification will not assess competence, as this will have already been assessed as part of the Foundation Phase Competency Qualification.
The following must be completed before the Apprentice can progress to the Development Phase of the Apprenticeship: A. The employer specified Level 2 Foundation Occupational Competence Qualification.B. Satisfactory achievement /progress towards Year 1 Level 3 Technical Knowledge units, as applicable to the occupational pathway requirements.C. Satisfactory progress towards the employer required behaviours.
DEVELOPMENT PHASE - YEAR 2-3After a further period of skills and technical knowledge development, all Apprentices will be required to acheive the following qualifications:
• Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering - Mechatronics Maintenace Technician (Development Competence)This qualification has been developed to provide learners with the skills and knowledge they will need to carry out the role of a Mechatronic Maintenance Technician. It covers the relevant Health and Safety requirements to ensure that all aspects of the Mechatronic Maintenance role can be carried out safely, it also includes fault finding, maintenance and planning as a basis for the qualification.
• Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Knowledge)This qualification can continue into the 2nd Year, with development knowledge.
Gateway 2 - YEAR 3-4In order to be ready for End Point Assessment the Apprentice must have achieved:A. Pass, Merit or Distinction in the selected Level 3 Technical Knowledge QualificationB. A binary grade Pass in the Level 3 Occupational Competence QualificationC. The required behaviours aligned to an Engineering TechnicianD. English and maths qualifications at Level 2
END POINT ASSESSMENTThe employer undertakes a Portfolio based Occupational Competence Validation Interview (Viva). A nominated Professional Engineering Institution (PEI) undertakes the independent assessment, to determine if the Apprentice has met the Engineering Technician requirements, as defined by the UK-SPEC requirements. The PEI will also undertake an independent quality assurance of the Employer Viva Interview documentation and checks that the employ-er approved mandatory qualifications achieved during the on programme phase and checked that Gateway 2 have been achieved and certificated.
APPRENTICE COMPLETION CERTIFICATE: Final employer Sign Off & PEI/MIAA applies for the Apprentice's completion certificate.
