Level 3: Signage Technician
Signage Technicians are responsible for the design, manufacture and installation of signage products to customer specification/requirements, signage regulations and company quality standards.
Level 3: Healthcare Engineering Specialist Technician
Healthcare Engineering Specialist Technicians work in sites where healthcare engineering takes place. They work either on medical devices or on plant, building services and systems.
Level 3: Prosthetic and Orthotic Technician
Prosthetic and Orthotic Technicians use the specification/ prescription provided to make devices that aid movement, correct deformity and relieve discomfort for adults and children.
Level 3 : Mortuary Technician
The L3 Mortuary Technician standard is designed for apprentices seeking a career in ensuring the effective operation of the mortuary and to assist colleagues in providing dignified care of the deceased.
Level 3: Funeral Director
Arranging, conducting and managing funerals.
Level 3: Clinical Coder
Clinical coding is the process of translating medical information from patient records in hospitals, into alphanumeric codes. A Clinical Coder will spend time reading medical notes / records and analysing the contents which they then translate into alphanumeric codes that accurately represent the patient’s stay.
Level 3: Machining Technician
Machining Technicians produce complex and precision work by machining components. Components are machined from metal or specialist materials using conventional or CNC machine tools.
Level 3: Engineering Fitter
Engineering Fitters produce complex high value, low volume components or assemblies in full or part, using machines, equipment or systems, to the required specification. For example, turbines, cranes, gearboxes, production lines, rigs and platforms.
Level 3: Metal Fabricator
Metal Fabricators carry out metal fabrication work using things such as rolled steel joists, columns, channels, steel plate and metal sheet etc.
Level 3: Polymer Processing Technician
Polymer processing technicians produce polymer products to a specification. They work in a production facility - often on a large scale, using a range of machinery, control systems and engineering equipment. Products are made using continuous or in batch processes. Polymer processing technicians set up or configure equipment and tooling and prepare materials for processing. They run and monitor the process, adjusting parameters. They use unique technologies and processes such as extrusion, blow moulding, thermoforming, rotational moulding, injection moulding, internal mixing, and calendering.
Level 3: Process Industry Manufacturing Technician
Process industry technicians are found in process manufacturing industries. They run processes involving high hazard inputs to produce products that meet specifications. This may include chemical-based products, stabilised crude, ethane, butane, methane, and hydrogen. The working environment is highly controlled due to the use of high hazard chemicals. Technicians must follow high-level safety systems. Typically, production is on a large scale using a continuous process. This usually means operations are 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Technicians may be required to work shifts.
Level 3: Battery Manufacturing Technician
Battery manufacturing technicians prepare for and conduct processes in one stage of cell or battery manufacture. Electrode technicians produce the component that goes in battery cells. They perform processes such as mixing, coating, drying, calendering, and electrode slitting. Cell assembly technicians make individual cells performing processes such as winding, stacking, filling, and sealing. Formation technicians perform formation, ageing and testing processes and final inspection of cells, ensuring cells are charged and working. Module and pack technicians combine individual cells to make battery modules and packs, and conduct end of line testing and cell finishing. In relation to the stage that they work in, technicians conduct quality assurance and maintain process records. Maintaining workplace health, safety and environment is also key. Technicians also support other activities including continuous improvement, inventory control, and maintenance.
Level 5: Laboratory Scientist
A fully competent Laboratory Scientist will be able to work in a wide range of organisations, including but not exclusively, chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, formulated products, nuclear and analytical services.
Level 5: Technician Scientist
A technician scientist carries out established laboratory based investigations and basic scientific experimentation using bench and instrumentation techniques.
Level 5 : Technician Scientist V1.1
