Level(s): Level 3
Duration: 42 months
Location: Barry Campus and Workplace
About the Course:
The Level 3 Apprenticeship in Engineering Manufacture sits within the Welsh Apprenticeship Framework FR05072, issued by Enginuity. It supports the development of skilled craft and technician level engineers across multiple engineering subsectors, including engineering maintenance.
This pathway develops the knowledge and hands on skills required to maintain, inspect, diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical and manufacturing equipment used across engineering and industrial environments.
It is suitable for apprentices working in:
• Aerospace maintenance environments
• Automotive or rail engineering
• Manufacturing and production lines
• Mechanical and electrical maintenance roles
• Industrial plant, machine or system upkeep
The pathway produces multi skilled maintenance technicians capable of supporting safe, efficient engineering operations. This pathway suits apprentices who:
• Work in maintenance engineering roles (mechanical, electrical or multi skilled)
• Maintain equipment, machinery, systems or components
• Carry out preventative and reactive maintenance
• Support fault finding, diagnostics, inspection, repair and testing
• Want to progress to technician or senior maintenance roles

About the Course:
The Engineering Technical Support pathway sits within the official Welsh Apprenticeship Framework FR05072 at Level 3, designed to develop skilled engineering technicians capable of supporting engineering design, planning, quality assurance, documentation and technical coordination activities within manufacturing and engineering environments.
The pathway prepares apprentices for roles that support engineering teams through:
• Technical documentation and reporting
• Engineering planning and scheduling
• CAD and drawing interpretation support
• Quality monitoring and inspection activities
• Production engineering and process optimisation
• Materials or production coordination
• Providing technical advice to engineering and manufacturing teams
It is aimed at learners working in more technical, office based or hybrid roles rather than traditional hands on craft roles. This pathway is suited to apprentices working in roles such as:
• Technical Support Technician
• Engineering Coordinator
• CAD or Design Support Technician
• Quality or Compliance Support
• Production Engineering Support
• Planning or Project Engineering Assistant
It is ideal for learners involved in engineering processes, documentation, testing, planning or analysis rather than primary manufacturing or maintenance tasks.
