Brief Description
In this role, you will work closely with experienced teams to support how ASMPT products are manufactured safely, efficiently, and to the required quality standards by process definition, documentation, problem‑solving and improvement.
Training to be Provided
During your apprenticeship, you will be visited by the training provider at least once a month for a full day of training. In some months, you may receive two visits to support the development of your knowledge, skills and behaviours.
All training is delivered on site at ASMPT, meaning you will not need to leave the workplace to attend college. This workplace-based approach allows the trainer to tailor learning directly to your role, using familiar language and real working examples so you can easily relate the learning to your day-to-day tasks. This is a popular and effective way of learning, as training is personalised to your workplace and delivered in small groups or one-to-one.
The training provider operates all year round and does not break for half-term, helping you make consistent progress and potentially complete your apprenticeship on time or even earlier than planned. The typical duration of the Level 4 Manufacturing Engineering Technician Apprenticeship is around 42 months.
