The apprenticeship follows the Level 3 Engineering Fitter standard, with training covering mechanical
engineering, fluid systems, maintenance, electrical principles, engineering drawings, materials and practical
skills including bench fitting, turning and milling.

• Pumps, valves, cylinders and associated components
