The Level 3 Engineering Technician programme is a 36 month programme following a technical support pathway. You will attend Yeovil College for 3 days per week over your first year, and then 1 day per week for the remaining 2 years. The rest of the time you will be working within the Thales business. The final qualification will be a Level 3 Diploma.

There will be scope for those joining at Level 2 to progress onto the Level 3. This will be agreed on a case-by-case basis as per the circumstances of each learner.
