The leading engineering training provider in the Yorkshire and Humber region
Degree Apprenticeship: Electro-Mechanical Engineer
Progress your career with Yorkshire and the Humber's leading engineering training provider.
In 2026, for the first time in our history, we are proud to introduce the delivery of a Level 6 degree apprenticeship.
This exciting addition expands our development pathway for engineers across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, allowing them to train from Level 3 to degree locally, with one of the UK’s most trusted engineering training providers.
This apprenticeship has been designed to suit the needs of a wide variety of engineering sectors, where the apprentice is expected to solve real-world problems through the understanding, and application of skills in mechanical and electrical engineering.
The delivery of this standard will be in excess of 60 months, factoring in the EPA (End Point Assessment) period. Learners will undertake 2 years of study for either:
- A HND in Electrical Engineering or
- A HND in Mechanical Engineering.
They will spend a further 18 months studying a part-time, top-up degree, delivered in partnership with the University of Hull.
The duties that would need to be covered as part of the apprenticeship, as set out on the Skills England Details of standard page, are as follows:
Duty 1: Identify and derive technical requirements for electro-mechanical projects or systems. The right requirements will ensure that any compliant final product will provide the desired function and performance, i.e. solve the problem at hand.
Duty 2: Design or redesign electro-mechanical products or systems to fulfil customer and technical requirements. The design must consider the interface between the mechanical and electrical elements of the product.
Duty 3: Create and utilise technical analyses models or simulations to predict the performance of products or systems. This includes modelling and analysis of electrical circuit behaviour and of mechanical behaviour (for example structural strength, kinematics, dynamic response).
Duty 4: Build or oversee the production of prototype systems, components or specimens to test functionality and performance of products.
Duty 5: Develop, define and execute testing of products or systems including: a) Gathering and use of existing data to establish test needs b) Development testing of concept solutions and alternative designs c) Qualification testing of final design, including safety cases.
Duty 6: Analyse test data and in-service data to review the suitability and performance of products or systems, including big data analytics.
Duty 7: Verify that products/systems comply with legislative and company standards throughout the life cycle, including quality, environmental, health & safety standards.
Duty 8: Review performance of in-service products/systems, assess the cause of any faults or problems, and propose ways to fix them.
Duty 9: Plan and lead the delivery of an allocated work stream, ensuring integration with the wider project and company objectives/strategies.
Duty 10: Communicate information, progress, risks and issues at all levels of the business, including through formal technical reports.
Duty 11: Contribute to risk identification and risk management processes within the scope of allocated work stream.
