Rolls-Royce Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Degree Apprenticeship - Bristol, UK

You’ll be trained to lead your own technical projects and work with expert mentors to develop the skills you need to thrive. Your role will see you selecting the optimal NDT method and conducting tests on parts – so be ready for practical experiments, project planning, resource control, problem-solving and gaining technical know-how. You’ll also learn how we use NDT in research and development along with the state-of-the-art technologies that enable us to rapidly detect defects, increase our throughput and reduce costs.

You’ll complete a variety of placements across our business, which will give you practical experience in various NDT methods. You can also expect to spend some time in our offices, solving technical issues and running projects to help our internal customers. Throughout, you’ll study for a BEng (Hons) NDT Degree at the University of Northampton. These studies will help you get to grips with the Maths, Electronics and Physics behind the methods you’re using. Some modules will be delivered residentially at Northampton University while others will be delivered via distance learning. 

Training:

Non-Destructive Testing is used across a wide variety of sectors and relies heavily on physics and maths. Your apprenticeship will give you exposure across our business as you learn how to use NDT to find surface and internal defects in a variety of materials.

Across four years, you’ll spend time building your practical and theoretical knowledge of X-rays (radiography), ultrasonics, eddy currents, magnetic particle inspection and fluorescent penetrant inspection, undertaking training courses in these five main NDT methods. You’ll gain manufacturing and laboratory experience of these methods along with quality assessment techniques, giving you an invaluable mix of practical and theoretical experience.
