REME tradesmen engaged in repair, inspection and modification tasks.

Pre-entry Requirements

Entry requirements are published in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Corps

Instruction No E5, Artificer selection and training. Potential Artificer trainees will be selected

and enrolled onto a course by the Artificer Selection and Course Loading Board (ASCLB) in

accordance with the Corps instruction No E5.

Learners who are taking this qualification will be employed as REME Vehicles or Weapons

Artificers, on completion of the course.

Unit Content and Rules of Combination A minimum of 245 credits is required overall for completion of this qualification, which must

include 125 credits at, or above, Level 5. The mandatory core units for this qualification are

made of 90 credits at Level 4 and 110 credits at Level 5.

Learners must select one of the two pathways achieving both the core units together with the

identified units within the chosen pathway to achieve the qualification.

Vehicle Artificer Pathway : 45 credits total, 15 at Level 4 and 30 at Level 5.

Weapons Artificer Pathway : 45 credits total, 30 at Level 4 and 15 at Level 5.

Optional Units may be achieved where appropriate to supplement the Learners qualification

and provide additional Credit in support of Professional Development.
