This course focusses on developing competencies for the workshop which will ultimately support students in preparing for a range of employment opportunities in their chosen sector. These core competencies collectively summarise the key capabilities that are important across the sector, covering areas of relevant expertise and technical skills that would be required within the sector to successfully perform a job, as defined in current advertised job vacancies. The course has professional body recognition with both the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). By aligning to professional body competency standards, content and assessment supports students to develop as professional practitioners for the future. The course can also lead to a higher-level apprenticeship in your desired mechatronics field.
