AMRC Training Centre launches higher apprenticeship programme with accredited foundation degree
The AMRC Training Centre will commence delivery of higher apprenticeships in mechanical engineering from autumn 2014.
Building on the success of the advanced apprenticeship programme, the level 4 higher apprenticeship still combines on-the-job and off-the-job training, but will also include a foundation degree accredited by the University of Sheffield. This will offer a work based route into professions which have traditionally been the preserve of graduates.
Kerry Featherstone, head of operations at the AMRC Training Centre, outlined the benefits of the new higher apprenticeship programme for employers:
A higher apprenticeship is a way for your business to fill its requirement for higherlevel skills by tailoring the learning to your workplace. As with the advanced apprenticeship programme, the training team will ensure your apprentice develops the knowledge and occupational competencies to meet the unique needs of your business.
