The course will cover 42 months of learning in total and, as part of Ryan’s on-going development at work, he will be spending one day a week at the Dudley campus developing his academic knowledge of engineering. Ryan will also be working alongside Simmatic’s experienced team of Engineers, learning as he earns, creating a career for himself in the process. As part of his HNC course, Ryan will be looking at fundamental mechanical engineering modules covering: – Engineering Design – Engineering Maths – Engineering Science and – Mechanical Principles. These course modules will give him a solid foundation to progress within Simmatic Automation and develop his broader knowledge within the engineering sector. Alongside the fundamental modules, Ryan will also have the opportunity to select modules such as; Managing a Professional Engineering Project, and Computer Aided Design, both of which are an on-going and developing branch of the Simmatic services tree. Whilst the academic side of the course is a huge benefit of the HNC course, two of Simmatic’s current employees also did similar courses as part of their academic career. They both found that whilst the education was key, being able to draw on the experience of the lecturers and other peers on the course was invaluable in solidifying, not only what they learnt but also, their interest in a subject which is so multifaceted it would be impossible to cover it in a single working life of experience.

Join us in saying congratulations to Ryan Griffiths!
