About the programme
This is no ordinary engineering apprenticeship.

You'll gain a broad range of skills including:

  • Three Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, including a complex method, such as ultrasonics, eddy current, radiography or infrared thermography.
  • The ability to apply multiple scientific principles to identify flaws obscured by structural or volumetric features that are not necessarily visible on the surface.
  • Formula-based engineering and the scientific principles underpinning relevant current technologies.
  • How to use materials, equipment, tools, processes and products relating to NDT.
  • Preparation of NDT procedures, technique sheets and work instructions for use by NDT operators.
  • How to use and apply information from technical literature, codes of practice and industry standards.
  • The limitations of standard tests and measurements relevant to their field of activity.
  • You'll also enjoy spending time with our friendly NDT team and interacting with different parts of our business to expand your skills and knowledge.
  • On finishing your apprenticeship, you'll be ready to start an exciting career as a Non-Destructive Testing Engineering Technician, helping to support the Royal Navy's fleet.
