What the college says
The BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Engineering is a vocational course designed for students considering a career in any branch of Engineering. During the course you will gain knowledge and skills which will prepare you for a career, or further study, in the Engineering sector. The BTEC Diploma is equivalent to two A Levels. Most sessions will be taught in the Eastburn Building – our Engineering, Training and Skills Centre – which hosts CADCAM facilities and two superbly equipped engineering workshops. Although not necessary, a GCSE qualification in Physics would be advantageous due to the demands in some units.
