Course description
Optimise your organisation's value-in-use and cost-in-use for long-life engineering assets by developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours that will shape the engineering leaders of tomorrow.
Our Level 7 Through-life Engineering Services Specialist Master’s Degree Apprenticeship provides delegates with the skills, knowledge and behaviours to maximise revenue through the provision of services that keep products operating effectively, rather than investing in the design, manufacture and delivery of original equipment (hardware). This allows organisations to extend the life of their high-value assets, reducing costs whilst also working towards achieving sustainability and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals.
The programme has been designed in collaboration with industry partners with a focus on addressing and finding solutions to real and current industrial challenges. Delegates will gain a wider perspective on what a through-life engineering solution could look like and what the system involves.
Upcoming start dates
Suitability - Who should attend?
This Level 7 Apprenticeship has been developed for organisations that require their workforce to engage in matters related to through-life management, support, asset management, servitisation and/or maintenance. Organisations that are through-life engineering services dependent will benefit from this programme, through the upskilling of employees in a range of roles such as engineers, business administrators, logistics, finance and commercial practitioners.
Learners will develop their specialist skills, addressing the current gap in highly-trained individuals able to support complex equipment and critical systems. The capabilities gained during the course are expected to contribute to the organisation's achievement of competitive advantage and sustainability objectives.
Furthermore, early career professionals will benefit from a postgraduate qualification and personal development opportunity with the UK’s leading postgraduate university specialising in technology and management. The applied nature of the programme enables personalised, specific and organisationally aligned development.
Delegates will be able to:
- Analyse and improve business processes.
- Identify opportunities for innovation, including servitisation.
- Manage complex infrastructure projects.
- Develop new products and services.
- Refine operations and manage obsolescence.
- Deliver improved results.
