Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship – Control Technical Support - Level 6
Our Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship is aimed at those with a passion for learning and innovation.
We’re reimagining the future of automotive, refining the quality of our combustion engines and expanding into electrification. As an Applied Professional Engineering Degree Apprentice, you will become a multi-disciplinary engineer, developing digital technology solutions for modern luxury vehicles that are renowned for their desirability and performance.
The Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Degree apprenticeship programme takes four years to complete and adheres to the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education (IfATE) Control Systems Engineer (Degree) standard.
As an apprentice, you will develop the Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the apprenticeship standard. These will be assessed during your End Point Assessment (EPA), where you will demonstrate the competencies and skills you’ve gained throughout the programme.
What to expect
During your apprenticeship, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience and career-building skills while working at the forefront of the automotive industry. This exciting programme is designed to help you build practical skills, deepen your foundational knowledge, and develop essential business behaviours such as teamwork and problem-solving. You’ll be supported by a JLR early careers cohort leader, the university team, and your line manager every step of the way.
You’ll achieve a BEng (Hons) in Applied Professional Engineering developed in conjunction with the University of Warwick.
Year 1 – 2
This programme is delivered through a combination of online study, face-to-face lectures, and independent learning each week. This gives you the chance to apply your learning from University of Warwick to projects in a real-world environment. You’ll study a range of modules designed to build your essential knowledge, skills, and behaviours, with regular process reviews along the way to ensure you’re getting the support you need from your tutors and line manager.
Years 3-4
In years 3 and 4, you will complete modules related to your chosen specialism – Control Technical Support. In your final year, you’ll complete a work-based project as part of your End Point Assessment (EPA). This is an opportunity for you to use the skills and experience you gained throughout your time on the programme and apply them directly to your role. Upon successfully completing your EPA, you’ll achieve your Level 6 Apprenticeship and take on new responsibilities, making a meaningful impact within the business.
Along the way, you could work in any of the following functional areas: Engineering Propulsion (EP), Engineering Operations (EO), or Global Manufacturing Engineering (GME). You will be asked to indicate your preference during the application process.
