Engineering Graduate Training Scheme "A" Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering. Model Training Guide

Transcription

1 Engineering Graduate Training Scheme "A" Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering Model Training Guide 1 Model Training Guide (MTG) The Model Training Guide is, as the name suggests, a guide to Companies on the practical experiences considered relevant in the formal training of potential Professional Engineers. 2 Training Programme (TP) The Training Programme is the plan prepared by a Company which is designed to meet the experiences listed in the MTG. This plan is presented for approval (to HKIE) on Form TD1 Part 2 as a part of the Assessment/Reassessment procedures. The TP must cover the experiences necessary to ensure that Trainees can meet the objectives set out in the Training Record-of-Objectives. 3 Training Period - Nominally 2 years The length of the training is based on meeting the objectives and not determined by time. The times shown below are therefore indicators only, the time that a normal trainee would take to meet the relevant objectives. The training period could and often be longer or in some cases shorter than the nominal training period! 4 Training Aim It is important to note that the Scheme A Graduate Training is designed to be the fast track by which a graduate can obtain full professional status. The training therefore covers both Technical and Professional matters. 5 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) An implicit part of the Scheme A training is related to CPD which should be an integral and relevant part of the development of the graduate trainee. 6 Training Stages I Introduction. II Engineering Practice. III Function Specialist Training. IV Objective Training. Revised in 11/2004 1
