Part of your training will take place offsite at Culham, where you’ll gain exposure to new environments and perspectives. We’ll take care of the transport, and we’ll do our best to make sure travel fits within your working day.
Once you’ve built your core skills, you’ll move into a live working environment. Alongside hands-on experience, you’ll continue your academic journey and work toward your Level 3 Technical Certificate in Mechatronics Engineering.
