Introduction
Engineering Operatives are key to the success of the Manufacturing and
Engineering sector allowing employers to grow their business while developing a
workforce with the relevant skills and knowledge to enhance the sustain the
sector. The role covers a wide range of common and job specific skills sets that
can be transferred across the manufacturing engineering industry sectors during
the course of their careers. Dependent on the sector that they are employed in
there may be subtle differences in terms of composition and application of the
job role specific skills and knowledge they will require, however the core
skills and knowledge will be the same regardless of the sector/area they work
in. They will work individually or as part of a team to carry out a range of
engineering operations which could include: ensuring machines and equipment used
are maintained and serviceable; dealing with breakdowns; restoring components
and systems to serviceable condition by repair and replacement; operating a
variety of machines (CNC or Conventional); assembling and repairing machine and
press tools, dies, jigs, fixtures and other tools; fabrication/installation of a
wide variety of other sheet fabrications and equipment; fabrication and assembly
of metal parts joining techniques; preparing materials and equipment for
engineering processes; providing technical support including communications
software, test tools, performance, capacity planning, and e-commerce technology
as required. Examples of the occupational roles from across the engineering and
manufacturing sector that would be covered within this standard are: Servicing
and Maintenance Operative; Machine Setter/Operative; Mechanical Engineering
Operative; Fabricator; Engineering Fitter; Multi-disciplined Engineering
Operative; Materials, Processing and Finishing Operative; Technical Support
Operative and Founding/Casting Operative. See Annex A for pathway information
Off the Job Training A key requirement of an Apprenticeship is
Off-the-job training. This must make up at least 20% of the apprentice’s
contracted hours, over the total duration of the apprentice’s planned training
period. Off-the-job training must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship
standard and must take place within the apprentice’s normal working hours. The
new learning must be documented and reflected on through the Learner Journal on
e-portfolio.
|
Entry Requirements
The Apprentice will need to be in a relevant role and show a willingness to
undertake the knowledge, skills and behaviours required. They will also need to
have Level 2 Maths and English (GCSE at Grade 4/C or above or equivalent) or be
prepared to attend a block study period for Maths and English if this is
required.
Apprentices may be required to attend an interview and undertake relevant
skills assessments.
Once they have been accepted on to the programme all apprentices will be
required to attend a Lincoln College Induction. Apprentices will require access
to a tablet/computer to access their e-portfolio.
|
Assessment and Progression
This depends on the programme chosen, at Lincoln normally one day per week at Lincoln College for the duration. If the employer prefers, candidates can attend Gainsborough for four days per week for a year, where extra units are delivered to meet the needs of local employers, both programs contribute towards the mandated 20% Off-The-Job Training required. Programmes will include workshop practice, theory sessions, work-based assignments, industry visits and onsite mentoring facilitated by our dedicated engineering team.
Both programmes assessment is done through a combination of practical tasks, written assignments, oral discussions and online tests throughout the programme.
End Point Assessment
There will be an End Point Assessment (EPA) as the final stage of an Apprenticeship. The Apprentice must demonstrate their learning to an independent end point assessor and the overall grade available is distinction, pass or fail.
The EPA consists of 2 assessment methods:
Practical observation
To assess the apprentice’s application of skills within the apprentice’s place of work or in a suitable environment away from the workplace (e.g. In a centre approved by the EPAO).
Professional discussion
To holistically assess KSBs across the standard and will be informed by reflective portfolio.
Qualification
Level 2 Diploma in Engineering Operations (Skills) Level 2 Certificate or Diploma in Engineering Operations (Knowledge) The unit selection within these qualifications is tailored to the candidate’s specific job role and can be found at Annex A. These units will develop Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours in addition to those core KSB detailed below.

Fees
As an Apprentice, you will pay no course fees. However, your employer may have to pay towards your training as well as providing you with a wage. All Apprentices are entitled to the national minimum apprentice wage within their first year of training from their employer, although they can, and often do, pay more. In the second and subsequent years of an Apprenticeship programme, if you are aged 19 or over, the national minimum wage for your age would apply [https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates]
