On an embedded electronic systems design and development engineer apprenticeship course, you’ll help design and develop electronic circuits, devices and systems for various industries.
An apprenticeship engineer will design and develop the electronics used in a broad range of goods, from smartphones to aircraft navigation systems.
This apprenticeship may be completed in several sectors, including aerospace, automotive, robotics, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. You will get an engineer’s knowledge of electronics and its concepts and hands-on experience with the finished product.
Successful apprentices will work in these sectors, developing products such as smartphones, electric vehicles, communications satellites, and smart grids.
You must be proficient in various skills backed by academic knowledge to work across several sub-sectors and specialisations.
After completing your studies, you will get a degree in electrical or electrical and electronic engineering.
What you’ll learn
On an embedded electronic systems design and development engineer apprenticeship course, you’ll learn to:
- Create working electrical systems and circuits from the component level.
- Use modern CAD technology to design circuits while considering heat dissipation, electrical interference, and other industry-specific issues.
Entry requirements
You’ll usually need:
- A-levels in maths, at least one STEM subject, and a GCSE in English.
- Apprentices without level 2 English and maths will need to achieve this before taking the end-point assessment.
Assessment methods
The End Point Assessment consists of two distinct assessment methods:
- Examination by interview
- Submission of the Log Book
Duration, level, subjects and potential salary upon completion
- Duration: 36 months
-
Level: 6 – Degree Apprenticeship
