Course summary

This qualification is designed for learners aged 16‐19 wanting to gain an understanding of the engineering sector. This could lead to further study in engineering, or learners could proceed into an engineering-related apprenticeship or employment. In order to take this qualification learners do not need any specific knowledge or skills related to the qualification and/or occupation. We do, however, strongly recommend that learners hold a level 2 maths qualification, for example GCSE grade C or above. They should be aged 16 or over. This qualification has been designed so that it can be delivered in one or two years. If the learner is undertaking a two year study programme this qualification may form part of the programme alongside complementary subjects such as GCE A Levels or additional specialist engineering qualifications; in a one year programme it could be the main qualification undertaken
