The\u00a0Construction Equipment Association<\/a> (CEA) has announced that two of its apprenticeship standards have been approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships<\/h2>\n

The approved apprenticeship standards include the Land-based Service Engineer (Level 2), and Land-based Service Engineering Technician (Level 3).<\/p>\n

Apprenticeships<\/a> are widely regarded as crucial to redressing the engineering skills<\/a> gap.\u00a0 For many young people they are a great way into work and offer a fantastic career without the worry of a student loan and debt.\u00a0 It\u2019s therefore no surprise that more and more young people are starting apprenticeships as an alternative to A-levels and university.<\/p>\n

The CEA has been involved in the development of apprenticeship standards for some time working with the Land-based Training and Education Committee (LETEC).\u00a0 Through the lengthy and testing approvals process, the CEA are delighted with the resulting two standards that have been approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships \u2013 Land-based Service Engineer (Level 2), and Land-based Service Engineering Technician (Level 3).<\/p>\n

Philip Burgess of the Construction Equipment Association\u2019s Skills Advisory Panel said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these new apprenticeships being introduced this year by several training providers across England, the CEA\u2019s attention now switches to their promotion to CEA member companies and their employees.\u00a0 To this end we are planning with key partners representing the Land-based Engineering industry, a coming together with colleges and training providers, two regional (north and south) \u2018what it\u2019s all about\u2019 seminars where employers and dealerships can find out more about these apprenticeships as well as the workings of the new apprenticeship levy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burgess added: \u201cIn essence, both apprenticeship standards deal with the maintenance and repair of a range of mechanised equipment used across the different pathways within the Land-based Engineering industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Service Engineer apprentices (Level 2) will learn to work to solve problems using a combination of scientific, technical and engineering knowledge.\u00a0 They will typically work on the employer\u2019s premises under supervision and, where appropriate and safe to do so, on their own initiative.\u00a0 They can work on a diverse range of tasks and machinery specific to their sector pathway.\u00a0 Technician apprentices (Level 3) will learn how to diagnose and repair more complex faults and will need a good level of mechanical skill and the ability to work from technical manuals.\u00a0 They will typically work on site using their own initiative in a customer facing role.\u00a0 In addition, they could often be called upon to mentor and supervise junior colleagues and to give advice to customers on machinery selection; again, specific to their sector pathway.<\/p>\n

Full details of the two Land-based Engineering apprenticeship standards are given at the Institute for Apprenticeships website<\/a>, and details of the forthcoming promotional seminars will be communicated to CEA members in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
