This course is suitable for those who wish to progress into electrical and/or mechanical engineering.

The course is designed with Anglian Water Alliances with the specific aim of progressing into work with them. On successful completion you will be guaranteed an interview with the alliance for their apprenticeship program which can then lead onto higher education and degree courses.

The majority of study will be at the Wisbech campus, delivered by college tutors, through practical and theory based sessions.

In addition to this, industry specialists from the alliance will contribute to the learning programme. An important element of the course is the work placement component, which will be with one or more of the alliance companies, where you will gain some valuable work experience.
