Start your career with a leading UK manufacturer

Established in 2010, the Bri-Stor Group apprenticeship has developed into a leading Midlands programme. Working in partnership with JCB Academy, we offer our Apprentices a unique opportunity to gain a solid understanding of engineering theory combined with real world hands on experience.

To date, 95 apprentices have joined our programme with Atlas Coatings,  Bri-Stor Systems or Alpha Manufacturing and many of them have gone onto take up important roles within the business working in various departments.
 
We have invested in on site training facilities and have a dedicated apprenticeship manager who is responsible for guiding our apprentices through their course.

Alpha Manufacturing – NVQ Performing Engineering Operations

Studying towards an NVQ in Performing Engineering Operations, students will gain a basic understanding of engineering principles in such areas as CNC laser and punching, CNC press brakes, bench fitting, welding and fabrication.

During the first 6 months of the level 2 apprenticeship, students will be studying full time at the JCB academy. The following 6 months will be spent working 4 days per week at Alpha manufacturing with one day at the JCB academy
Following successful completion of the apprenticeship programme, candidates that demonstrate the necessary level of commitment and desire to succeed could progress to a level 4 (foundation degree) qualification.
