The LSS BTEC National Engineering course is an Extended Certificate course equivalent to one A Level. There are four units covered over two years. Three are mandatory, Unit 1: Engineering Principles, Unit 2: Health & Safety, Unit 3: Designing & Making. The optional unit is Unit 10: Computer Aided Design. All are taught concurrently with a specialist teacher for each unit. BTEC courses are designed to provide an area of study which includes a significant practical content with real life relevance to the workplace. It is also academically rigorous with challenging units based on how maths and design is applied to engineering scenarios and how health and safety is central to all engineering activities. Technical drawing and Computer Aided Design are also integrated and the course will be enhanced by specialist visiting speakers and industrial visits. We also expect students to play an active role in securing a relevant work experience placement.
