Composite materials are essential in the Aerospace, Automotive, Marine and Renewables industries and are becoming increasingly important in the Oil & Gas, Construction and Rail sectors. The composite industry therefore has an increasing requirement for skilled employees. We are adapting the way we deliver our Composites Technician Apprenticeship to allow more flexibility and a wider reach to Companies wishing to take on apprentices in this field. Using technology, apprentices will be able to dial into their weekly lesson if they are not within a practical radius to attend the College in person. Week blocks will be scheduled to attend the College for practical workshops in our dedicated Composite Centre. If you would like to discuss this further, please email A Composites Technician is engaged in a variety of processes in the production and creation of materials and components that are used in a range of applications including but not limited to: airplanes, cars, boats, turbine blades, oil & gas rigs, bridges, trains and satellites. They provide specialised knowledge and skills that support manufacturing programmes and projects and may be deployed in the areas of design, tooling, moulding, lay-up, curing, machining, inspection, testing, repair and material production.
