SETA is now delivering Higher Apprenticeships in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering!
The Higher Apprenticeship framework has been designed to provide the manufacturing and engineering sector with high grade technicians and engineers who have practical skills, combined with a higher education qualification.

The framework facilitates progression to Level 5/6 and Incorporate Engineer status.
Generally all age groups can apply for the Higher Apprenticeship framework and this should be considered as an alternative to graduate recruitment with obvious benefits to employers and apprentices.
