Apprenticeship Schemes

Approving your Apprenticeship scheme signals your commitment to establish the best career foundation for Engineering Apprentices.

Why approve your Apprenticeship Scheme?

• Attract more people onto your apprenticeship scheme
• Raise skill levels and opportunities for professional recognition
• Improve the promotion of your scheme by being included on the IET's Approved Apprenticeship list.

Apprentices benefit by attaining professional status as an Engineering Technician (EngTech) upon successful completion of approved Advanced Apprenticeship frameworks (Advanced Modern Apprenticeship in Scotland).

Approval is straightforward to implement and involves little extra work for providers. The support services provided by the IET to help you gain approval are free of charge though we ask that providers support apprentices in becoming members of the IET and, eventually, in achieving registration as Engineering Technicians.

An extensive database of relevant NVQ qualifications has been established by working with Sector Skills Councils such as SEMTA and SummitSkills. Some of these qualifications, within the context of an Advanced Apprenticeship, also meet the Engineering Technician requirements.
