Barred units

Unit 206 is barred with units 207 and 208
If unit 206 is undertaken then units 207 and 208 cannot be taken as the apprentice’s choice of optional units

Unit 210 is barred with units 211 and 212
If unit 210 is undertaken then units 211 and 212 cannot be taken as the apprentice’s choice of optional units

Upon completion of the qualification learners will have developed skills required of the Foundation phase of the Engineering Operative apprenticeship, enabling them to progress further with their training.

The qualification has no specific specialist physical resource requirements.
To deliver the qualification centres/colleges will need to provide their learners with a suitable learning environment in order to complete the practical aspects of the qualification.
