The apprenticeship runs over four years and covers a progressive modular structure across Years 1-4, including modules such as Applied Electrical Technology, Dynamics Modelling and Simulation, Structural Mechanics, Engineering Research and a final Engineering Project. The programme is delivered in partnership with industry and is designed to meet professional standards.

Typical entry expectations (set by employers) include GCSEs and A-levels or equivalent BTEC credits. Start date for this intake is September 2026 and the location is Filton, Bristol.
