What the college says

If you’d like a general introduction to the field of engineering and want to learn more about what roles in the industry might be like, then a BTEC First Level 2 Diploma in Engineering is the perfect place to start. You’ll start with an introductory topic that explores the engineered world, and then complete an additional ten units during the course, with each covering a different topic area. Some of the units you’ll study will focus on health and safety, engineering materials, as well as mathematics for engineering. You can then choose other units to study from a range of options once you start the course. The course is designed to give you a good, solid understanding of the engineering discipline alongside the skills and knowledge you’ll need to progress onto further, more in-depth study, or employment in the industry.
