New Apprenticeship Standards are designed by employer groups to be rigorous and respond to employers’ needs.
The new Level 3 Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technician (MOET) apprenticeship standard has been approved for delivery by the Institute for Apprenticeships (IfA). 

The Level 3 Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technician apprenticeship is designed for learners in Engineering roles of which there are many and would include: 

•Electrical Technician
•Control & Instrumentation Technician
•Mechanical Technician 
 
The Level 3 Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technician apprenticeship has a typical duration of 36- 42 months and is Level 3.  The apprentices’ journey begins with a period of learning and development which covers the full range of knowledge, skills and behaviours required within the engineering environment. This is managed by the employer. In most cases, there’s also support from a training provider.

The apprentice will compile an evidence portfolio to support with the technical interview as part of the end-point assessment. Apprentices would be expected to have achieved maths and English Level 2 before the learner takes their end-point assessment.
Finally the apprentice moves on to the end-point assessment made up of the following assessment methods:

•Online knowledge test
•Practical observation
•Technical interview

In order to offer a genuine end-to-end solution we will provide high quality, rigorous end-point assessment, at a convenient time for your apprentice.

Learners having successfully completed Level 3 Maintenance & Operations Engineering Technician  apprenticeship, may have the opportunity to progress onto a Level 4 Engineering apprenticeship.
