Phase 1 During phase 1, apprentices

will be trained in the principles of engineering and take part in practical activities to develop basic skills including mechanical

assembly, hand-fitting, milling, turning and welding.

Phase 2 Phase 2 offers apprentices a combination of on and off-

the-job training based on three specialist areas, which will help

shape your study and placement:

Intelligent Automation

Computer Numerical Control (CNC)

Metrology (High Tolerance Measurement)

Phase 3Apprentices will take part

in a placement with one of AMTC’s partner employers, with the aim of this leading to permanent employment.

The Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship Programme The Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship Programme is a three-year course designed to give young people the best possible start towards a career in engineering.

Upon completion of the course, you will have gained the following qualifications:

Phase 1The programme starts with a two-week induction to the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and the engineering industry, personal safety, self-development training and an outline of the apprenticeship.

During phase 1, apprentices will be trained in the principles of engineering and take part in practical activities to develop basic skills including mechanical assembly, hand-fitting, milling, turning and welding.

At the end of this phase, the apprentice will also participate in enrichment activities such as a community project, project manage the building of an air motor, build and race a soap box and receive further training in LEAN manufacturing techniques.

Upon successful completion of phase 1, apprentices will gain a Diploma in Engineering in the following subjects:

Engineering & Environmental Health & Safety, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Computer Aided Design (CAD) Techniques, Electrical & Electronic Principles, Mechanical Engineering Principles and Advanced Manufacturing Techniques.

Phase 2Phase 2 offers apprentices a combination of on and off-the-job training to build on the industry-relevant knowledge and skills gained in phase 1. During this phase, apprentices will receive broad-base training in three themes which will form the foundation for the final theme choice towards their specialist role.

At the end of each eight-week programme, apprentices will spend a week in an industry-relevant placement to implement the skills learnt in a working environment.

During phase 2, apprentices will have the opportunity to choose one of these specialist areas to focus the remaining learning on, with the aim of securing a successful placement in a matching role within the industry.

Computer Numerical ControlThe engineer will specialise in programming, operating,

problem-solving and developing all areas of CNC machining but will have a broad competence reaching across metrology and automation, with the confidence

to easily adapt to any business requirement.

Theme

2 Upon successful completion of phase 2, apprentices will gain an Extended Diploma in

Engineering in the following subjects:

Engineering Organisational Efficiency and Improvement, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming & Machining, Programmable Logic Controllers, Maintenance of Pneumatic Systems

& Components, Advanced Manufacturing Techniques – Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Engineering Inspection and Quality Control.

Metrology (High Tolerance Measurement)

The engineer will specialise in carrying out and developing quality assurance tasks and processes but will have a broad competence reaching across machining and automation, with the confidence to

easily adapt to any business requirement.

Theme

3Intelligent Automation

The engineer will specialise in the safe installation, maintenance, programming, problem solving and developing all areas of automation and robotics

but will have a broad competence reaching across machining and metrology with the confidence to easily

adapt to any business requirement.

Theme

1

At the end of the broad-base training, an assessment and personal choice will determine the specialist theme for phase three and beyond.

Apprentices will spend eight weeks studying each of the following themes:

Phase 3Apprentices will take part in a placement with one of AMTC’s partner employers, with the aim of this leading to permanent employment. This is a critical part of the Programme and will give apprentices the chance to implement many of the skills that have been learnt so far, whilst gaining an unrivalled insight into working in manufacturing and making important contacts in a chosen field.

Apprentices will return to AMTC for training in their chosen specialist area and technical lectures concerning the latest developments in the engineering industry including robotics systems and additive manufacture techniques.

Specialist block training titles for Intelligent Automation

Hydraulics - Principles and Components, MTC-S7-1200-Level 2 Course, Electrical Systems

Electrical Sensors & Safety, Panel Building - Relay Logic 1, Panel Building - Relay Logic 2

Specialist block training titles for CNC

Multi-Axis Machining Best Practice, Machining Economics and Tooling Selection, In-process Inspection Techniques, GD&T And CAD Best Practice For Manufacturing, Complex Work Holding - Design And Manufacture, Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM)

Specialist block training titles for Metrology

The continuation of studies following the apprenticeship can lead to a HNC/HND in Engineering, a Foundation degree or a Higher Apprenticeship should the engineer be capable of progression.

Subject area-specific training blocks

Assessing Competency

When the work-placement has been successful, and the apprentice can consistently perform the tasks required of them, they will be assessed for their competence to ensure they meet the standards required for the completion of the apprenticeship.
