Course overview
What You Will Study
Land Based Service Engineers and Technicians will carry out a range of tasks on machinery, plant and equipment specific to their sector. The job role ranges from routine maintenance to repairing mechanical faults. This requires a blend of skills, industry knowledge and disciplines. These may include performing service and maintenance, preparing equipment and components for repair according to procedures or written briefs, conducting routine machine operation and systems testing, and handing over machinery, plant and equipment to the control and use of others in the workplace. The industry will present technical challenges ranging from simple mechanics to diagnosing and repairing complex systems. These processes may take place in the workplace or on the customer’s site, requiring flexible working hours.
This apprenticeship is delivered in a joint group with Land Based Service Engineering Technicians, and Level 2 is covered in Year 1 (the first 16 months). Apprentices will complete all components to become Land Based Service Engineers and can then progress to the Technician standard. In Year 1 apprentices will learn to:
Perform routine service and maintenance operations
Prepare equipment for repair, such as cleaning, dismantling and reassembling machinery and their component parts according to procedures
Years 2-4 are completed on the Technician standard upon successful completion of the End Point Assessment. The course is delivered at our Easton campus.
