Work-Study Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing

Course duration: 30 months

The Work-Study Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing prepares you for a engineering career in the Manufacturing Industry.

The course equips trainees with the skills, knowledge, and professional attributes necessary to support manufacturing operations. It focuses on designing and producing components using CAD and advanced technologies, while integrating quality assurance, lean principles, and sustainability to optimise process efficiency.

Learners will be able to produce precise CAD models and prototypes, leveraging advanced additive manufacturing techniques to ensure designs are optimized for efficient production. They will gain a solid foundation in transforming conceptual designs into tangible components, setting the stage for innovation in manufacturing.

Learners will demonstrate their proficiency in a variety of manufacturing processes, including injection moulding, sheet metal fabrication, and CNC machining. By generating machine-specific CAM codes and operating state-of-the-art automation systems and IoT-enabled devices, they will streamline production workflows and boost operational efficiency.

Learners will adopt robust quality assurance practices and lean methodologies while integrating sustainable manufacturing principles. They will transform theoretical knowledge into practical outcomes by managing production schedules, executing comprehensive company projects, and coordinating project plans to deliver tangible value in real-world industrial settings.
