Skilled Worker’
A skilled worker is a person who has successfully completed a course of training, acceptable to the Authority, involving the manufacture, repair, overhaul or inspection of mechanical, electrical or electronic equipment. The training would have included the use of tools and measuring devices.
I wouldn't get too excited about that, a skilled worker is assumed to have completed a full trade apprenticeship.

The typical sponsored graduate does two years training around their degree, 6-12 months of it in a workshop learning all these skills - but this is unlikely to be sufficient to be formally recognised as "skilled".
