ENGTECH Apprenticeship SchemE

Getting your apprenticeship scheme Approved by us can make it easier for your apprentices to register as an Engineering Technician (EngTech) at the end of their apprenticeship.

It could help with your recruitment too, as running an Approved scheme shows your commitment to your apprentices’ career development.


What are the benefits to your company?

An Approved EngTech apprenticeship scheme:

  • Raises the profile of your company
  • Helps you retain qualified and experienced staff
  • Demonstrates your commitment to the engineering industry
  • Benchmarks the quality of your apprenticeship programme
Apprentices can join us as Affiliate members free of charge during their apprenticeship course. When they are finished they should be eligible to apply for EngTech registration. Read our brochure to find out more.
