If you enjoy maths and physics and like problem solving then you may be interested in a career in engineering. It's equivalent to one A level, studied over 2 years which means when you have finished the course you can use it to get a job, or an apprenticeship or you can use it alongside other qualifications for getting into university to study engineering related degree courses. You'll get lots of hands on experience to develop practical engineering skills using a range of tools and equipment. You'll learn to apply mathematical and physical science principles to solve electrical, electronic and mechanical-based engineering problems. You'll explore the ways engineering processes including fitting, fabrication and forming are used to transform ideas and materials into products and services. You'll investigate product design and the manufacturing process and learn about the 'iterative process' from prototyping, testing, analyzing, to refining your product or service. You'll also study one specialist optional unit from a range of topics that include computer aided design, engineering maintenance, pneumatics and hydraulics, electronic devices, fabrication processes and machining among others.
Minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 preferably including English Language, Mathematics and a Grade 5 in Product Design or related GCSE
Through a written exam, set tasks undertaken in supervised conditions and practical and written assignments submitted throughout the course.
