What the college says

The Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering is a two-year, full-time programme designed to equip learners with the technical knowledge, practical skills, and professional behaviours required for a career in modern engineering. In Year 1, students complete the Certificate, which forms the foundation of the full Extended Diploma delivered in Year 2. Ideal for school leavers and those progressing from a Level 2 qualification, this programme prepares students for higher education, apprenticeships, or direct entry into employment across a range of engineering sectors. The course is delivered through coursework-based assignments, avoiding formal written exams and supporting consistent progress and applied learning. This Extended Diploma is also closely aligned with engineering apprenticeship standards, ensuring a smooth transition for learners who choose to move into an apprenticeship after completing the course without duplicating content or effort.
