Level 2 BTEC Extended Certificate in Engineering - Intermediate Apprenticeship

UPDATED 20150929 16:23:51

This course will provide all the skills and technical knowledge required to gain access to our Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering. The course is split into two parts: academic study will be provided over 1 half of the week and enrichment activities, work experience, self study programmes, site tours, work experience and enterprise activities will be provided over the second half. The course is one year in duration and you will complete the Level 2 BTEC National Certificate in Engineering. This pathway covers the technical certificate element of an intermediate apprenticeship and you will also gain the skills required to complete the practical competency element of an apprenticeship. The course enables all learners to progress easily to advanced apprenticeships at the end of the year if employment is found at that point in time and subject to completing GCSE Maths and English at grade C. The course is ideal for people who are looking at a career in engineering but who have not yet identified a specialism they wish to pursue. The course covers all the basic aspects of general engineering and incorporates the elements contained within the specialist Electrical, Mechanical, Operations and Manufacturing BTEC study programmes. By following a general engineering study programme, you will be positioned perfectly to continue your journey towards specialism at degree level and beyond. Local employers and universities all agree that - by developing a wide range of technical skills at Level 2 and 3, rather than specialising too early in their career - future engineers are far more valuable to local companies, many of which are working in the advanced technologies sector where multi skilling is a vital skillset to have. We will provide you with an understanding of Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing and Operations Engineering principles at Level 2 ('GCSE' level standard).
