Apprentices and Helping our Future Engineers

TQC has always encouraged the education and development of young engineers and their career development within the Company. In particular TQC offers financial support to apprentice engineers to help them gain engineering qualifications on a day release basis in partnership with Castle College Nottingham. In addition to these formal qualifications, when they are not studying at College, our apprentice engineers are exposed to a wide range of experiences and good engineering practise during their work in TQC's engineering workshops. They also gain much valuable knowledge and skills by working alongside, and under the supervision of, our experienced engineers.

Engineers joining TQC directly from school or perhaps after a year at College gaining an introductory engineering qualification, usually enroll onto a BTEC course ranging from National Diploma to Higher National Certificate level and engage in learning Skills and Competencies within a SEMTA Apprenticeship Framework.

Currently TQC have 2 apprentices. Adam, a mechanical engineering Technician is in his second year of a BTEC National Certificate in Manufacturing Engineering and Kieran has just started a BTEC HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering having previously completed a BTEC National Diploma in Electronic Engineering.

Oliver completed his Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship in 2007 and continued his education with a BTEC HNC in Manufacturing Engineering which he has also just completed in July 2009. We wish them every success in the advancement of their education and career at TQC.

TQC also have an undergraduate working as a Technical Support Engineer within the sales department. At the end of August, Prerna our first placement student left us after 12 months, we wish her well in her Final Year at Aston University. Nottingham University student Dan has now started and we hope he will enjoy his year at TQC.

TQC are pleased to have been involved in the filming of an educational DVD for use as a teaching aid for a GSCE module. (OCR Design and Technology for GCSE: Electronics and Control Systems - click here for further details)

The videos filmed at our Nottingham factory will be used to provide background information on machine design, pneumatics, sensors and control. We are always keen to help in educating our next engineers.
