3 1.0 About EAL Since 1964, EAL (Excellence, Achievement and Learning) has been awarding vocational qualifications and apprenticeship components for engineering,, building services and related sectors. Developed to the highest technical standard, our qualifications are regularly updated to reflect regulatory, employer and technical changes. We support the providers of our qualifications s with an unparalleled level of service to ensure that apprentices are well prepared for the roles they plan too take on. EAL recognise the value of skills in the work environment as one of the five key drivers of productivity; essential for economic growth and bringing a number of wider social benefits. Through its programme of continuous improvement EAL strives to meet the demand from employers for high performing, high quality products. In 12, EAL changed its name from EMTA Awards Limited to Excellence, Achievement and Learning, to better reflect its wide reaching position across industry providing qualificationsq s, not only in Engineeringg and Manufacturing, but also specialising in Building Services Engineering, Gas Utilisation, Environmental Technologies, Business Services and closely related sectors. 1.1 Equality and diversity statement EAL expects its centres to enablee individuals to have equal access to training andd assessmentt for qualifications irrespective of their sex, marital status, age, religion, colour, race, nationality, ethnic origin or disability. In essence, centres must deliver our qualifications and units u in accordance with relevant Equalities Legislation. Centres are required to have in place a policy to ensure that such discrimination does not occur either directly, indirectly or as a result of pressure from other bodies. This policy should apply to all satellite centres and there should be arrangements inn place to monitor its application andd effectiveness. 1.2 Complaints Customer service is a fundamental part of EAL s commitment to industry. Our long term partnership with industry and recognised centres which is underpinned by our unique external verification service s and world class customer service means our support is based on unrivalled understanding of our customers needs. EAL aims to ensure that all customers receive a high quality and efficient service and we continually monitor the levels of service provided. Theree may be times, however, when you may feel that we have not providedd an adequate service.

4 2.0 Achievement of the qualification In order to articulate the specificc level of skills, knowledge and behaviours required to be achieved and assessed to demonstrate full occupational competence in the Apprenticeship, thee employers in the Apprenticeship Trailblazer groups have developed a more detailed Employer Occupational Brief (EOB). The overarching EOB informs awarding organisations of the required elements off both knowledge and vocational skills within the Apprenticeship Standard. It also provides a clear basis for the development of the assessment of the Apprenticeship and enables the sector to maintain world class levels off quality to ensure that the credibility and consistency off the Apprenticeship outcome is maintained. The EOB comprises a number of documents including the rules of combination and the qualification assessment strategy requirements both of which are included in thiss manual. Thee EOB also contains the units of competencee that make up the qualification. Also contained within the EOB are the Apprenticeship Standard andd the accompanying Assessment Plan and the relevant documents should bee read in conjunction with this manual. The Apprenticeshipss covered by this qualification manual are: 1. Aerospace Engineer Level 6 2. Aerospace Software Development Engineer Level 6 3. Electrical/Electronic Support Engineer Level 6 4. Control/Technician Support Engineer Level 6 5. Manufacturing Engineer Level 6 6. Product Design and Development Engineer Level 6 The Apprenticeship Standards and the Assessment Plans for these Apprenticeships can be found here: 1.

6 Assessment Plan for Product Design and Development Engineer Level 6 _Product_Design_and_Development_Engineer_Automotive_Trailblazer_Assessment_Strategy.ashx.pdf The qualification is achieved when all the necessary units have been completed. The centre will then be able to apply for the apprentice s certificate of achievement. The apprentice will also receivee a certificate of unit credit, listing all the unitss they have achieved. This manual must be used in conjunction with the delivery and assessment of any individual units to ensure that assessment requirements and methodologies are consistently applied. There are various other qualifications which this qualification could relate r to.
