Manufacturing - Engineering

Develop the technical knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours needed for a career in engineering. This pathway combines mechanical and electrical engineering, giving you hands-on experience designing, manufacturing and assembling engineering products using industry-standard equipment, including HAAS CNC machines.

Based in our industry-standard workshops and £11.3 million Energy Skills Centre at our Lowestoft campus, you'll learn through practical sessions, classroom-based engineering and maths, employer visits and work experience opportunities. With strong links to local engineering employers, you'll have the chance to gain valuable industry experience and explore apprenticeship and career pathways. You may also have the opportunity to visit sites such as Bacton Gas Terminal and Sizewell Nuclear Power Station and complete the Duke of Edinburgh's Award to further enhance your CV.

Location Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth

Assessment is varied throughout the course and is designed to develop both your practical skills and academic knowledge. You will be assessed through practical assessments, online multiple-choice exams and written assignments.

Based on your GCSE results, we will work with you to determine the most appropriate level to start your studies with us. Achieving higher grades may enable you to progress more quickly towards employment or your next step, so we encourage you to achieve the best results possible. Our approach is personalised to each learner. Please note that if you do not achieve a GCSE grade 4 or above in English and Maths, you will be required to continue studying these subjects alongside your chosen course.

You can progress through our Engineering courses before moving to an apprenticeship, university or employment.
