Apprentice Scheme Success 2017

Starting over 50 years ago our Apprentice Scheme is something we have always been proud of and as three more successful apprenticeships are completed, all with outstanding college results we congratulate them on their hard work and wish them all the success for their future careers with Middlesex Aerospace.

Apprenticeships completed at Middlesex Aerospace 2017:

Max Hull
After studying for his BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Basingstoke College of Technology Max joined us September 2014 as a Mechanical Engineering Apprentice.
During his first year, whilst being trained on every manual machine in our Tool Room, he completed his Level 3 NVQ work based assessment in mechanical engineering along with studying and passing the required I.C.T. qualification. At the start of his second year he was enrolled on a two year course, at Basingstoke College of Technology, to achieve the HNC in Mechanical Engineering. This was carried out on a day release basis. One day every week spent at college. At the same time he was partaking in a Level 4 NVQ in Mechanical Engineering which is a work based assessment whilst spending three months at a time in numerous departments within Middlesex Aerospace.

In July 2017 Max completed his L4 NVQ in Mechanical Engineering and also achieved a distinction grade in the HNC for Mechanical Engineering.  August 2017 saw Max successfully complete his three year apprenticeship along with all of his college qualifications. He is now on our “Apprenticeship Plus” training scheme which will give him the opportunity of further training in all of the departments within the company with the focus on the machine shop and assembly.

Max is looking forward to becoming an all-round skilled mechanical engineer and a long and prosperous career with Middlesex Aerospace.
