Your training plan

During your apprenticeship, you’ll spend a significant portion of your first year at Make UK based in Aston, Birmingham (B6 7EU). Your typical hours at the training provider will be from 8:00 AM to 4:30PM Monday – Thursday and reduced hours on Friday's; you will receive a confirmed timetable upon joining us. Here you’ll be assigned an Industrial Training Manager (ITM) and a JLR early careers cohort leader to support you throughout your apprenticeship journey.

Year 1 – Foundation Phase:

In your first year, you'll focus on building your foundational knowledge of engineering and essential workplace competencies to ensure safety. You’ll spend time in workshops developing practical skills such as welding, electrical installation, milling, and fault finding. You’ll also take part in regular plant placements where you’ll have the opportunity to apply these newly acquired skills in a real-world environment. You’ll also begin studying your Level 3 BTEC qualification.

Year 2 – Academic Knowledge and Skills Development:

In your second year, you’ll divide your time between your workplace and college, spending four days on plant and one day at Make UK each week. During this time, you’ll continue your Level 3 BTEC qualification and put your academic knowledge into action while working on site.

Year 3 – Academic Knowledge and Competence Development:

In your third year you will be developing your skills in plant and continue working towards your BTEC qualification, focusing on developing your skills beyond the basics and working on real-world projects on-site at JLR.

Year 4 – Continuation of Competence Development and End Point Assessment:

In your final year, you’ll complete your apprenticeship and prepare for your End Point Assessment, supported every step of the way by your Early Careers Cohort Leader and ITM.

Please note the delivery structure may be subject to change and will be confirmed upon joining us.

This exciting programme is designed to help you build practical skills, deepen your technical knowledge, and develop key workplace behaviours like teamwork and problem-solving.
