The Course

This work-related course is designed to give you a broad introduction to engineering while developing the academic, technical and practical skills needed for your next steps. It is a great starting point if you are interested in engineering but want to explore different areas of the industry before choosing a specialism.

Topics include:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Electronic engineering
  • Manufacturing engineering
  • Engineering technology
  • Engineering mathematics
  • Communication
  • Practical engineering skills
  • Working in engineering environments
  • Future developments in engineering

Learning is based around projects and assignments that reflect realistic workplace situations, giving you the opportunity to apply your knowledge to practical engineering challenges. You will explore mechanical, manufacturing, electrical and electronic engineering while gaining a broader understanding of how these areas are used within industry.

The course also provides opportunities to develop specialist skills and experience within real working environments. Alongside technical knowledge, you will build important skills in areas such as mathematics, communication and problem-solving, helping you prepare for the expectations of the engineering workplace.

By the end of the course, you will have a broader understanding of engineering and the different career pathways available. You could progress to an engineering Apprenticeship, move into employment or continue to higher-level study, including Level 4 and degree-level programmes.

Typically you will need 5 GCSEs at grade 4/C (or above), including grade 4/C (or above) for maths and English.
You could progress onto the Level 4 BTEC HNC in Engineering.
