Engineering Studies

Course summary

This qualification is aimed at learners preparing for future roles in the engineering sector such as higher level apprenticeships or progression to an engineering degree course. It has been designed as part of a two year programme of study and is normally taken in conjunction with two or more qualifications at level 3. It is aimed at giving learners a wider view of the sector including elements of mechanical, electrical and manufacturing engineering. This is a vocational programme which gives the learner the academic theory, practical skills, and workplace understanding they need to be ready for progression to employment and/or higher education. Our teaching and learning is built around engineering challenges set by our challenge partners. This qualification is designed for learners who want to expand their understanding of the core academic principles of engineering across a diverse range of topics whilst study for another level 3 qualification such as A‐level Mathematics or Product Design. It is aimed at learners looking to progress to higher level apprenticeship schemes and also further engineering study at university.
