Start your journey towards becoming a fully qualified Aeronautical Engineer with the Level 3 Triple Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering. Co-created with industry to allow you to develop the exact skills needed for university and/or employment, this course aims to develop a wide range of engineering skills. There is a strong focus on experimental and practical techniques so you learn to apply your knowledge to real industry scenarios. You will also develop your analytical and problem-solving abilities. This is a challenging and exciting course, featuring industry experience and delivered by enthusiastic expert tutors, all keen to support you towards success. If you achieve a grade 3 in GCSE Maths or English you will have to work towards re-sitting these subjects as part of your main study programme. At B&FC, this won’t delay your career journey because you’re working towards these subjects at the same time as your main subject. Most of the teaching and learning on this course takes place in our dedicated engineering suites and computer-based classrooms. Our expert tutors understand that everyone learns in different ways so they use a range of teaching methods to enable everyone to achieve their potential. These include plenty of practical activities, designed to develop your understanding of key engineering principles as well as your employability skills. Guest speakers from industry provide real-life insight into your chosen career area. Throughout the course, we will provide you with lots of individual support, including regular target setting and reviews to ensure you remain on track. Timetabled hours per week total 13 and we will expect you to devote an additional 3 hours each week to independent study. Practical sessions account for 60% of the taught element of this course and theory, 40%. The course also features work experience in a relevant placement setting, study skills sessions and a personal tutorial.
4 GCSEs grade 4 or above in English and Maths.
The first year consists of a general engineering overview, with progression to the Aero-specific subjects at the beginning of year 2. There are 3 units in the first year that are exam assessed. You will be in a classroom or workshop for approximately 15 hours a week throughout the course. On top of this you will be expected to complete homework/assignments and an industry placement as well. The Aero-specific modules are all assessed with assignments that require both written and practical work to complete.
