Course Overview

Course Overview
Machinists in the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering sector are predominantly involved in highly skilled, complex and precision work. Work will involve machining components from specialist materials using conventional and/ or CNC machine tools such as centre lathes, vertical and horizontal milling machines, horizontal and cylindrical grinding machines, electro discharge machines, single and multiaxis CNC machine tools centres.

Typical job roles: Machinist - Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Prosp User 1

Qualification
Non regulated provision, Level 3, Engineering

Open Entry Requirements

Individual employers will identify any relevant entry requirements in terms of previous qualifications, trainability tests, but may typically be five GCSEs at Grade 4/C or higher.

Initial assessment and diagnostic testing on English and Maths will take place prior to commencement of apprenticeship

Apprentices without Level 2 English and Maths will need to achieve this level prior to taking the end-point assessment.

Upon completion of the qualifications and English and Maths (if required), Apprentices will be externally assessed by an Independent End point Assessment Centre using the following methods:
An Occupational Competence Validation Interview
Professional competence assessment
Final employer endorsement of occupational and professional competence and overall completion of the apprenticeship Prosp User 2

Open Details

Machinists in the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering sector are predominantly involved in highly skilled, complex and precision work. Work will involve machining components from specialist materials using conventional and/or CNC machine tools such as centre lathes, vertical and horizontal milling machines, horizontal and cylindrical grinding machines, electro discharge machines, single and multiaxis CNC machine tools centres.

They will be expected to be able set up, operate and adjust/edit equipment settings as applicable to the machine tool being used. When using CNC equipment they will be expected to be able to produce, prove and/or edit programmes. During and on completion of the machining operations they will be expected to measure and check the components being produced and make adjustments to the equipment/programme to ensure components meet the required specification.

After 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)
Level 2 Diploma in Machining (Foundation Knowledge)

After a further period of skills and technical knowledge development all apprentices will be required to achieve the following qualifications:
Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Competence) - Machining
Level 3 Diploma in Machining (Development Knowledge) Prosp User 3
