Is this course right for me?

This course consists of:

  • A Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering delivered in Pembrokeshire College over one day per week
  • A technical qualification which is assessed in the workplace
  • Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Literacy Qualifications unless you are exempt

The qualifications you complete will depend on the nature of your job role with your employer, and you will be advised on this following a meeting with a vocational expert.

To apply for an apprenticeship, you must have an employer willing to employ you for the duration of your apprenticeship. Your job role must allow you to plan and organise at least your own work and liaise with others in doing so.

Your employer will need to:

  • Be able to release you one day per week to attend college
  • Provide us with evidence of suitable insurance and evidence of your employment status
  • Be happy to discuss Health and Safety procedures with your assessor
  • Pay you the appropriate national minimum wage, including for college days

Transport: Please note that for apprenticeship courses the college day would normally end anytime between 5pm – 7pm, depending on the apprenticeship pathway you are following. As college buses leave at 4pm, you will need to ensure you have your own transport in place.

If you have gained your qualifications outside of the UK we will use ECCTIS to check their equivalence to UK qualifications. Please upload proof of your qualifications as part of the application process.

  • Engineering Maintenance – mechanical, electrical, engineered systems, instrumentation and control

You will be required to complete workshop based practical assessments as well as on-site assessment of your work – including observation, professional discussions and looking at work products. Written assignments on Fundamental Engineering Principles and written reports of jobs you carry out in the workplace will also be a part of your assessment.

Places on Apprenticeship Programmes are limited and subject to capacity. An offer of employment does not guarantee an immediate place in college.

Learners have the option to complete course assessment/assignments or elements of the course through the medium of Welsh or bilingually. Visit our Welsh Language in the College page to find out what else is available to you.

  • Portfolio of evidence
  • Workplace evidence
  • If taken as an apprenticeship then reviews with your assessor and employer will take place every 1-2 months and you will be expected to have developed your skills and knowledge between each review

Following successful completion of this course learners could look to progress to a higher level course at the College, seek an appropriate Apprenticeship or go directly into employment.
