Mandatory core units Engineering Health & Safety and Engineering Principles are assessed by a City & Guilds online multiple-choice assessment.

Principles of Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering or Electrical and Electronic Engineering units are assessed by a short-answer question paper set by City & Guilds.

All other units are assessed by City & Guilds approved practical assignments and knowledge-based tasks.

Upon successful completion, students can progress to:

· Advance to Higher Education: Enrol in engineering degree programmes at universities.

· Start an Apprenticeship: Enter advanced apprenticeships in specialised engineering fields.

· Enter the Workforce: Employment in roles like electrical technician, design engineer, or similar positions

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The course often includes enrichment activities such as:

· A minimum of 30 hours of work experience

· Guest speakers from the industry

· Visits to local companies and engineering exhibitions

These experiences aim to enhance students' understanding of the engineering sector and provide valuable industry insights.
