Craft Apprenticeships

Craft Apprenticeships are focused on Aeronautical Engineering for both the academic and practical elements. It is a three-year programme, with the first year spent at one of our partner colleges, and the second and third years on-site at Broughton or Filton.

The first year covers Level 2 Foundation. You will learn about engineering operations, take Airbus technical courses and study advanced maths for engineers, Essential Skills Level 2/Functional Skills Level 2. Upon completion, you will have a number of technical certificates and an additional company required qualifications.

The second and third years cover Level 3 Advanced. This builds on the Level 2 Foundation and leads to an NVQ Level 3 Extended Diploma (Aeronautical Engineering) and a Technical Certificate (National Diploma Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering), and Wider Key Skills/Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) amongst others.

Five GCSEs (or equivalent; this includes Welsh, Scottish and International equivalents only) at grade C or above in Maths, English Language, Science (Double Award) and preferably one related subject; these could include an Engineering Diploma, Principle Learning, PEO Level 2 and Pathways to Apprenticeship. If GCSE Science has been taken as single subjects, one of the qualifications must be in Physics.
