Course description

BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Engineering (90 credit):

The BTEC Level 390 Credit Diploma is one year stand alone full time Engineering course. It provides the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in the design, development and manufacture and maintenance of engineering products and systems. The course is both practical, and work related and follows a manufacturing pathway developed by BTEC. Learning is achieved through the completion of projects and assignments based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands. The course will require elements of home study and some assessments will take the form of tests. The course is suitable for school leavers and young adults.

This course includes: Health & Safety; Mechanical Principles; Mathematics for Technicians; Mechanical Systems; Engineering Drawing; Fabrication Processes; Electrical Technology; Primary Forming or Engineering Secondary or Finishing Techniques Machining; Computer Aided Design (CAD). To progress onto the Extended Diploma, each student must achieve both a good result and a good reference from the course team. If these conditions are not met, this might result in the student not being able to continue to the next part of the course, the second year.
