Competenz can provide training plans, support and qualifications — tailored to your business's specific needs.
The general engineering programmes provide a nationally recognised qualification that combines practical workplace learning with technical knowledge. It equips people with the skills to build, maintain, and repair a wide array of machinery and equipment using fitting, machining, fabrication, hydraulics, pneumatics, and welding—meeting industry standards across diverse mechanical contexts. Training also covers health and safety legislation, interpreting drawings and specifications, engineering problem-solving, quality systems, and effective communication within teams and workplaces. These two programmes can be done indepentantly or as one apprenticeship.
