The Journey Begins With You

Our industry-recognised Engineering apprenticeship schemes are a great way to kick-start your career. This Mech-elec Apprenticeship will give you the knowledge and skills to become a world-class engineer, accomplish your career and financial goals, and give you a trade for life.

Unlike schemes at other companies, the Stagecoach Apprenticeship Scheme will give you unlimited support, with a dedicated mentor throughout the 4 years. You will meet regularly with Managers and Engineering Directors for advice and guidance and start the course with a comprehensive toolkit.

How The Apprenticeship Works

Stagecoach Engineering apprenticeship programs span four years and are structured to provide comprehensive learning and skill development. The first three years involve practical learning at our bus depots, working alongside skilled technicians and using the latest diagnostic technology.

Year 1


- A full overview of all vehicle systems, including Health and Safety, tools & equipment, inspections, wheels & tyres, braking principles, steering & suspension, engines, electrical principles, air & fuel, cooling & lubrication, and transmission & drivelines

Year 2


- A deeper, more focused learning of electrical systems, body electrics, transmission and drivelines, and being able to remove & replace components.

Year 3


- Advanced body & electrical diagnostics, engine diagnostics, chassis diagnostics, transmission diagnostics, vehicle & component inspections, diagnosing & repairing components.

Alongside practical, hands-on learning, you will also attend a specialised training college. Here, you'll work towards achieving either the Bus and Coach Engineering Technician Standard in England and Wales or the Modern Apprenticeship in Bus and Coach Engineering Maintenance in Scotland.

The fourth and final year is a bespoke, award-winning program crafted by Stagecoach UK Bus, endorsed and certified by the Institute of the Motor Industry. You will be paired with an experienced mentor to provide guidance and support as you consolidate your technical skills.
