Quality Inspector Apprenticeship (Level 3 - Advanced)

These tasks may include the use of first principle measurements, using a variety of hand instruments, through to computer guided purpose-made precision measurement equipment.  

You will initially be based within the Skills Academy for the first 18 to 24 months, where you will develop your basic knowledge and core skills, such as hand fitting, machining and measuring, before progressing on to the onsite aspect of your training.

At this point you will start to apply and further develop these core skills in a live working environment.  

In addition to the vocational aspects of your training, we will further your knowledge of Quality through academic studies as you work towards the completion of a Level 3 Engineering and manufacturing support technician apprenticeship which includes a Level 3 Diploma in Engineering and Manufacturing Support Technologies. 

Training Outcome:

Following completion of your apprenticeship and subject to business need and your career aspirations, you will outturn into a quality inspector role within one of the areas of AWE.
