About this course

Level 4 Mechanic Course in Swindon. Classes run at F-TEC Swindon, with day or block release attendance over 4 weeks. To join, you'll need either a Level 3 qualification in Lift Truck Maintenance and Repair, or at least 5 years of experience as a lift truck engineer. This level 4 mechanic qualification takes your technical knowledge to master technician standard. You'll attend classroom-based training and then carry out independent research to complete the programme. It's a demanding mechanic course designed for experienced engineers who want to reach the top of their trade.

Who this course is for

This advanced course has been developed by The IMI Awards and F-TEC to offer engineers the opportunity to compete an advanced course which might follow after their completion of the level 3 Apprenticeship Programme. This course requires the candidate to be able to complete their own research once they have attended the technical training. This course will produce an advanced engineer which will be an asset to companies.

Entry requirements

The entry requirement for this qualification is that either the engineer has a level 3 in Lift Truck Maintenance and Repair or at least 5 years’ experience as a Lift Truck Engineer.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop advanced diagnostic and fault-finding skills for lift truck systems.
  • You'll study complex mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems at master technician level.
  • You'll carry out independent technical research to support your learning.
  • You'll apply advanced knowledge to real engineering problems in the workplace.
  • You'll build the expertise needed to work as a senior or specialist lift truck engineer.

How you will learn

Training is classroom-based at F-TEC Swindon, delivered over day or block release sessions. After attending the technical training, you'll complete independent research as part of the programme. Assessment is through the IMI Awards framework for this Level 4 qualification. The centre will confirm the full assessment requirements before you start.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. F-TEC Swindon will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Master technician, diagnosing and resolving complex lift truck faults at senior level.
  • Senior lift truck engineer, leading technical work across a fleet or workshop.
  • Workshop manager, overseeing a team of lift truck engineers.
  • Technical trainer, passing on advanced knowledge to less experienced engineers.
  • Field service engineer, handling specialist callouts for major equipment suppliers.

What you could study next

Having reached Level 4, you may want to move into management or technical leadership.

If you want to train others, a teaching or assessing qualification such as the Level 3 Award in Education and Training would let you pass your expertise on formally.
