What the college says

Each of the two years consists of four theory units, but practical work is woven into the course. During the two years, there are a dozen compulsory practical activities that may be assessed in the written examinations. In addition to this, there is an entirely separate practical endorsement, based on demonstration of core practical competencies. Throughout the two-year course, there is a healthy emphasis on practical work. Students are taught how to make measurements of a range of quantities including length, current, potential difference and temperature. They will develop an awareness of the nature of measurement errors and of their numerical treatment.
