It also includes level 2 Performing Engineering Operations (PEO) units to provide essential basic engineering training for apprentices in England and Wales. Learners will take four mandatory units, a choice of three PEO engineering practices or five PEO technical support units, and one of five job-specific pathways. These pathways cover a wide range of areas including equipment installation, commissioning, traction lift installation, hydraulic lift installation, and escalator installation and commissioning.
