Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship

 

Our Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Programme Degree Apprenticeship is aimed at those with a passion for learning and innovation.

 

We’re reimagining the future of automotive, refining the quality of our combustion engines and expanding into electrification. As an Applied Professional Engineering Degree Apprentice, you will become a multi-disciplinary engineer, developing digital technology solutions for modern luxury vehicles that are renowned for their desirability and performance.

 

The Level 6 Applied Professional Engineering Degree apprenticeship programme takes four years to complete and adheres to the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education (IfATE) Control Systems Engineer (Degree) standard. For more details, please visit the IfATE apprenticeship standard webpage:

https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/st0023-v1-1

 

As an apprentice, you will develop the Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the apprenticeship standard. These will be assessed during your End Point Assessment (EPA), where you will demonstrate the competencies and skills you’ve gained throughout the programme.

 

Control Technical Support pathway

 

Control Technical Support Engineers are responsible for the design, installation and commissioning of the buildings and assembly facilities that we use to manufacture future products. Your skillset will ensure that breakdowns are minimised, and issues are rapidly and permanently resolved.

 

Notably, you will focus on control processes that use sensors as an input while testing, planning, installing, monitoring and maintaining control systems as required. You will also ensure that all instruments used within the engineering labs are calibrated. This is a vital workstream due to the increased quantity of rigs to be installed in the next five years in the engineering labs.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

During your apprenticeship, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience and career-building skills while working at the forefront of the automotive industry. This exciting programme is designed to help you build practical skills, deepen your foundational knowledge, and develop essential business behaviours such as teamwork and problem-solving. And you’ll be supported by a JLR early careers cohort leader, the university team, and your line manager every step of the way.

 

You’ll achieve a BEng (Hons) in Applied Professional Engineering developed in conjunction with the University of Warwick.
