1 Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship Programme Course outline

2 The Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship Programme will not only provide you with extensive knowledge and experience in the fundamental principles of engineering, you will also explore several specialist areas to help you shape the direction of your studies for the remaining time of your course and beyond.

3 The Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship Programme The Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship Programme is a three-year course designed to give young people the best possible start towards a career in engineering. Upon completion of the course, you will have gained the following qualifications: Phase 1 During phase 1, apprentices will be trained in the principles of engineering and take part in practical activities to develop basic skills including mechanical assembly, hand-fitting, milling, turning and welding. Phase 2 Phase 3 Apprentices will take part in a placement with one of AMTC s partner employers, with the aim of this leading to permanent employment. Phase 2 offers apprentices a combination of on and offthe-job training based on three specialist areas, which will help shape your study and placement: Intelligent Automation Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Metrology (High Tolerance Measurement)

4 Phase 1 The programme starts with a two-week induction to the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and the engineering industry, personal safety, self-development training and an outline of the apprenticeship. During phase 1, apprentices will be trained in the principles of engineering and take part in practical activities to develop basic skills including mechanical assembly, hand-fitting, milling, turning and welding. At the end of this phase, the apprentice will also participate in enrichment activities such as a community project, project manage the building of an air motor, build and race a soap box and receive further training in LEAN manufacturing techniques. Upon successful completion of phase 1, apprentices will gain a Diploma in Engineering in the following subjects: Engineering & Environmental Health & Safety, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Computer Aided Design (CAD) Techniques, Electrical & Electronic Principles, Mechanical Engineering Principles and Advanced Manufacturing Techniques.

5 Phase 2 Phase 2 offers apprentices a combination of on and off-the-job training to build on the industry-relevant knowledge and skills gained in phase 1. During this phase, apprentices will receive broad-base training in three themes which will form the foundation for the final theme choice towards their specialist role. At the end of the broad-base training, an assessment and personal choice will determine the specialist theme for phase three and beyond. Apprentices will spend eight weeks studying each of the following themes: At the end of each eight-week programme, apprentices will spend a week in an industry-relevant placement to implement the skills learnt in a working environment. During phase 2, apprentices will have the opportunity to choose one of these specialist areas to focus the remaining learning on, with the aim of securing a successful placement in a matching role within the industry. Theme 1 Intelligent Automation The engineer will specialise in the safe installation, maintenance, programming, problem solving and developing all areas of automation and robotics but will have a broad competence reaching across machining and metrology with the confidence to easily adapt to any business requirement. Theme Theme 2 3 Upon successful completion of phase 2, apprentices will gain an Extended Diploma in Engineering in the following subjects: Computer Numerical Control The engineer will specialise in programming, operating, problem-solving and developing all areas of CNC machining but will have a broad competence reaching across metrology and automation, with the confidence to easily adapt to any business requirement. Metrology (High Tolerance Measurement) The engineer will specialise in carrying out and developing quality assurance tasks and processes but will have a broad competence reaching across machining and automation, with the confidence to easily adapt to any business requirement. Engineering Organisational Efficiency and Improvement, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming & Machining, Programmable Logic Controllers, Maintenance of Pneumatic Systems & Components, Advanced Manufacturing Techniques Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Engineering Inspection and Quality Control.

6 Phase 3 Apprentices will take part in a placement with one of AMTC s partner employers, with the aim of this leading to permanent employment. This is a critical part of the Programme and will give apprentices the chance to implement many of the skills that have been learnt so far, whilst gaining an unrivalled insight into working in manufacturing and making important contacts in a chosen field. Apprentices will return to AMTC for training in their chosen specialist area and technical lectures concerning the latest developments in the engineering industry including robotics systems and additive manufacture techniques. Subject area-specific training blocks Specialist block training titles for Intelligent Automation Hydraulics - Principles and Components, MTC-S Level 2 Course, Electrical Systems Electrical Sensors & Safety, Panel Building - Relay Logic 1, Panel Building - Relay Logic 2 Specialist block training titles for CNC Multi-Axis Machining Best Practice, Machining Economics and Tooling Selection, In-process Inspection Techniques, GD&T And CAD Best Practice For Manufacturing, Complex Work Holding - Design And Manufacture, Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) Specialist block training titles for Metrology Offline CMM Programming & Tactile Scanning, Surface, Form & Roundness Measurement with Advanced GD&T, Articulated Measuring Arms, Optical Non-Contact Measuring Systems, Non-Contact Laser sensors on a CMM, Quality within Metrology. The continuation of studies following the apprenticeship can lead to a HNC/HND in Engineering, a Foundation degree or a Higher Apprenticeship should the engineer be capable of progression. Assessing Competency When the work-placement has been successful, and the apprentice can consistently perform the tasks required of them, they will be assessed for their competence to ensure they meet the standards required for the completion of the apprenticeship.
