What is the Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Foundation Competence)?
This is a Level 2 qualification. The Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Foundation Competence) forms part of an overall apprenticeship and is the Foundation Competence, but can be delivered stand-alone. It is designed to showcase your skills and knowledge of typical workshop equipment, such as lathes, hand fitting techniques, working with wiring and producing assemblies.
