Course overview
These apprenticeships provide comprehensive training in land-based engineering, offering practical experience and theoretical knowledge in a work-based learning environment. Aimed at individuals over the age of 16, these programmes enable learners to earn while they learn.
The land-based engineering industry covers a wide range of specialist vehicles and machinery used in agriculture and farming, forestry, horticulture, groundcare, and fixed plant. Employees are expected to maintain and repair equipment, requiring good knowledge of health and safety legislation. Key areas include agricultural machinery (e.g., tractors, harvesters, quad bikes), groundcare machinery (e.g., mowers, brush cutters), forestry/arboriculture machinery (e.g., harvesters, chainsaws), fixed machinery (e.g., grain/crop processing, milking equipment), and power equipment (e.g., generators, water pumps). Apprenticeships in land-based engineering address skills gaps and provide career pathways, ensuring the industry’s future viability and growth.
