Engineering Skills
Our practical and hands-on Engineering courses are based in our state-of-the-art Automotive, Construction and Engineering Centre. They are designed to allow you to gain vital skills, using hi-tech and innovative equipment including conventional and computer-controlled machines, a computer-aided design suite, excellent welding facilities and an electronics laboratory. There has never been a more exciting time to get into engineering. The industry as a whole in our area is set to grow, with many exciting opportunities in the pipeline meaning there is a future need for skilled engineers. We have a proven track record of working with local employers to help them train the next generation of engineers, meaning you will gain the skills you need to succeed in your future career.
Study at Level:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
You will get the chance to learn about all aspects of the industry, as all courses adopt a multi-discipline approach to engineering that helps you decide which branch you would like to follow. You will also future proof your skills by learning about green technologies such as pneumatic and hydraulic machinery, using our new, innovative kit in our dedicated hydraulics workshop.
Level 1 – You will require GCSEs grades 1/2 or equivalent, including Foundation Awards and Entry Level Certificates.
Level 2 – You will require a minimum of 3 GCSEs grade 2/3, or above, including English or Maths.
Level 3 – Successful completion of a Level 2 within your chosen subject area, plus minimum 4 GCSEs grade 4 or above including English and Maths.
ENGLISH & MATHS
If you haven’t achieved a GCSE Grade 4 (C) in English and/or Maths, you will be required to either; take a Functional Skills qualification if you have achieved a Grade 1 or 2, or retake the GCSE if you’ve achieved Grade 3. You will be fully supported by our specialist team.
There is an expectation each learner will undertake work experience, This can be arranged by the learner with the help of the college team to ensure that the placement is maintaining a safe working environment or potentially work experience may be offered through the colleges companies already providing placements for apprentices.
As part of the study Programme, learners will have the opportunity to visit relevant work environments and/or manufacturers to gain an understanding of the processes of the industry. Parental/guardian permission for trip is essential and will be sought at the beginning of the course to prevent delays or disappointment.
