Course summary

This BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering is an advanced, two-year full-time course designed for young people who have an interest in broad engineering disciplines and wish to gain a nationally recognised qualification at Level 3. It is ideal if you want to progress to university, an advanced apprenticeship or employment.

Entry requirements

You’ll need five GCSEs, including Maths at Grade 5-6/B, English at Grade 4/C or above and three other relevant subjects at Grade 4/C or above. Experience shows that a high Mathematics grade is an advantage for this course and you will need to discuss this further with your tutor. The course requires a minimum of 30 hours work experience. The college will assist with your placement, but students are encouraged to find their own as part of industrial familiarisation. This qualification provides a route to various engineering degrees and also apprenticeships.

How you'll be assessed

Apart from the three external examinations, all other units are internally assessed by assignment to national standards.
