The qualification aims to introduce learners to core engineering practices and principles, providing them with hands-on experience in a workshop or simulated work environment. It helps develop essential skills required across various engineering sectors, including mechanical, electrical, and maintenance. Additionally, the course serves as a valuable stepping stone.

Depending on the specific pathway and center, typical units may include:

Working safely in an engineering environment.
Using and communicating technical information.
Carrying out basic engineering activities (like fitting, assembling, or machining).
Using hand tools and power tools.
Measuring and marking out.

You will experience collaborative learning in a dynamic classroom environment led by specialised tutors, complemented by hands-on training at our fully equipped workshops at our engineering centre in Norwich. Your learning will be recorded on an easy-to-use e-portfolio platform.
