The engineering sector is growing both locally and nationally, and is a government priority area.
There is currently a skills gap in the market for qualified engineers in manufacturing, mechanical, and electrical and electronics.
Salaries for qualified engineers can range from £30-£45K depending on the industry role.
This course is a two year programme split into two single years. The first year establishes the core elements of engineering disciplines such as maths, electrical & electronic principles, mechanical principles, engineering materials. Learners can change route after year one, moving into employment or advanced apprenticeship. The second year (Diploma / Extended Diploma) becomes more specialised in your chosen engineering pathway.
Pathways are:
- Electrical and Electronic
- Mechanical
- Manufacturing.
This course is designed to provide highly specialist, work-related qualifications in a range of vocational engineering sectors. Learners will gain the knowledge, understanding and skills that they need to prepare for employment, or enter higher education.
The course is suitable for school leavers with good academic GCSE results, but can also appeal to adult learners with equivalent qualifications or industrial experience on a part-time day basis.
