Getting to know you Poll 1: What is your experience of delivering engineering apprenticeships? Shared chat window 2: If you have answered “A different engineering qualification” please let me know which one(s). Shared chat window 3: What is the main question(s) you hope will be answered in today’s training? Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

Overview of Apprenticeship Standards

Requirements for Apprenticeship Standards Designed by Employers, for Employers Leads to a specific occupation (i.e. Retail Team Leader/Supervisor) Minimum 12 months on programme delivery/assessment Independent End Point Assessment to confirm Occupational Competence Mandatory 20% off the job training Mandatory Employer Cash Contribution (10% or Levy contribution) No mandatory qualifications – except Maths and English Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

Engineering and Manufacturing Standards 73 standards with either the Apprenticeship standard approved or are approved for delivery in the Engineering and Manufacturing sector Range from Level 2 to Level 7 Apprenticeship standards starts 16/17 (provisional) – 2,460 Largest volume of learner starts – Engineering Technician – 770 starts Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

Engineering and Manufacturing Standards Main standards being used are Engineering Technician Occupations include Engineering Technical Support Mechatronics Maintenance Technician (Multiskilled Maintenance) Machinist Aerospace Manufacturing Fitter Aerospace Mechanical/Electrical Systems Fitter Aircraft Maintenance Fitter Product Design and Development Technician Marine occupations (x3) Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

Engineering and Manufacturing Standards New standards that are going to be ‘popular’ Improvement Technician - Level 3 (replacing BIT Level 2) Improvement Practitioner – Level 4 Improvement Leader – Level 5 Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician – Level 3 Rail Engineering Technician – Level 3 All level 6 Apprenticeship standards Level 7 Post Graduate Engineer Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

Engineering Standards in Development

Engineering Standards in development Manufacturing Operative – Level 2 Engineering Operative – Level 2 Manufacturing/Engineering Technician – Level 3 Fabricator (including Welding) – Level 3 Propulsion Technician – Level 4 Heritage Restoration Technician – Level 3/4 Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

Gaps in Provision

Gaps in provision What do you think still needs to be created? What occupations are not yet available? What employers do you think would like to be involved in development? Shared Chat Window (all participants) Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

On Programme and EPA

On Programme and EPA Many Engineering Apprenticeships have mandatory qualifications Competence qualifications (i.e. NVQs) Knowledge qualifications These qualifications have been designed by employers and meet the requirements of the apprenticeship occupations Where a standard does not have mandatory qualifications (i.e. Maintenance Operations Engineering Technician) – providers can choose to deliver a qualification, however, this may not be funded from the levy and employers should be consulted prior to delivery.  EPA for many standards are linked to professional recognition (i.e. Engineering Technician) which is provided by Professional Engineering Institutions (PEIs). In these situations, EPA is provided by the PEIs (i.e. IMechE or IET). Where EPA is not limited to professional recognition, Pearson are reviewing the requirements prior to making an application to offer EPA Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017

Plans for the Future

Plans for the future Add further occupations to the Engineering Technician Standard Complete gap analysis against current Apprenticeship Frameworks Look at how Apprenticeship Standards fit into new Government T Levels (and how qualifications can map) Develop further qualifications as required and make a decision on EPA Engineering Apprenticeship Update – November 2017
