Engineering Apprenticeship Access Programme

Due to the continued success of the Engineering Apprenticeship Access Programme (EAAP), TDR is looking to run our 8th cohort in September. Details of the programme are as follows:

Start Date: Monday 20th September 2021
Duration: 30 weeks
Time: 30 hours per week, Monday — Thursday 08:00 — 15:30,  Friday 08:00 — 12:30
Location: TDR Training & Development Centre, Scotswood Road. Newcastle upon Tyne. NE15 6BZ and/or TDR, Q1, Quorum Business Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE12 8EX

Candidates will study towards a Level 2 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering with the ultimate aim of progressing into a Level 3 engineering apprenticeship on completion of the programme.

During the programme candidates will complete units in the following areas:

  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Electrical Maintenance
  • Machining
  • Welding
  • Fitting and Assembly

This will hopefully lead into an engineering apprenticeship where the programme has a high success rate of progression.

The EAAP is suitable for anyone 16-18 years old who already holds a GCSE grade 4 or above in English and Mathematics, who doesn’t hold the Level 2 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering qualification and would like a career in Engineering.

“I am the first-ever female apprentice on the Washington plant with BAE to be taken on in maintenance. There were a few females in the office when I visited but I was the only young female on the shop floor. It’s good to see the progression towards more women being employed in Engineering.” – Jenny
