Meet one of our incredible apprentices Oliver Ross, Myenergi, who is proving that you don’t have to choose between gaining a university degree and launching a career - you can do both.

As a product design and development engineer degree apprentice studying for a BEng Mechanical Manufacture, Oliver is transforming ideas into real-world renewable energy solutions.

Thinking about your own next steps? Here is why a degree apprenticeship at the AMRC Training Centre is a total game-changer:

🔹Fast-track to Chartered Status (CEng): Why just be a student? By combining a degree with years of practical, on-the-job training, you are building the exact portfolio needed to become a Chartered Engineer much faster.
🔹Real-world impact: move from theory to frontline creation. In Oliver's own words: ""I used to build them, and now I'm designing them."" There is nothing quite like seeing a product you tested and modified hit the commercial market.
🔹An elite industry network: training at the AMRC Training Centre puts you right in the middle of a world-leading manufacturing cluster. You'll learn alongside peers from industry giants opening doors to a massive professional network.
🔹Earn while you learn: you get the degree, the hands-on skillset, and a pay check - all without the traditional university debt.

"If you’re thinking about an apprenticeship, go for it. You’ll learn more, grow faster, and build a network that will push you forward in your career."

"Keep an open mind and get out of your comfort zone. I’m from Bradford and I’ve come to Sheffield for this course. I was scared to leave home for the first time, but it’s been a really good experience."

We sat down with our mechatronics maintenance engineer apprentice with ever, Hanzala Mansoor to talk through what his apprenticeship has been like so far.

For some, taking the leap into the world of work, a pathway their friends might not be on, or is somewhere not close to home, can be worrying. However, Hanzala's story is the perfect example of when the right opportunity comes your way, you can end up " on the best apprenticeship course out there, and working for one of the biggest companies."

Think an apprenticeship means missing out on top-tier academics? Think again. 🎓

Our teaching team recently headed to University of Cambridge for the International Materials Education Symposium. Why? To share how the AMRC Training Centre is leading the way in engineering education.

From creating 'calculus escape rooms' to make maths more engaging, to bridging the gap between the classroom and the real world - our tutors are global experts in their field.

When you train with us, you aren't just getting a job; you’re getting a world-class education from the people who live and breathe modern engineering.
