Apprenticeship Programme

Instron has long-term success in training and developing apprentices in a varying number of schemes which are suited to students seeking experience in either Manufacturing or Business/Commercial. 

If you’re looking to start a career in Engineering, gain hands-on experience and work towards gaining educational qualifications, Instron is the place for you!


  • Our apprenticeship programme sets the foundations of engineering using knowledge acquired from GCSE maths and science. Therefore we require all applicants to have a minimum of 5 GCSE’S at C grade for above including Maths, English, and Science. 
  • At Instron we value our employees and look for anyone who 
    • Is enthusiastic with the motivation to learn and develop
    • Is a good team player with excellent communication skills 
    • Can demonstrate a can-do attitude

  • Even if you haven’t got an engineering background don’t be shy about applying, as our Business Apprenticeships offer a huge scope for learning. As long as you demonstrate enthusiasm and a can-do attitude, Instron may be the place for you.
