Your training plan
In your first year, you’ll gain a firm foundation in engineering principles. This will consist of workshop-based manufacturing training at our Apprentice Academy in Derby, alongside classroom-based learning for your degree with the University of Derby.
From your second year, you’ll complete placements in different areas. Placements generally last six months each, which allows you to develop a real understanding of what working in that area means.
