About this course

This course is suitable for anyone interested in a career in maintenance, installation and repair for engineering and manufacturing.

This qualification is aimed at learners aged 16-19-years old who wish to work in the Mechanical engineering and manufacturing industry.

Students are required to take part in a substantial industry placement that runs for a minimum of 315 hours (45 days) overall and will therefore give students practical insights into their sector and an opportunity to embed the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.

What will the course involve?

Students will develop an understanding of a broad range of issues relevant to the sector, including:

• working within the Engineering and Manufacturing Sectors – an understanding of how materials, conditions and context influence design processes and products
• essential mathematics for engineering and manufacturing – a knowledge and understanding of mathematics including standard matrices and determinants and standard trigonometry
• materials and their properties – understanding material processing techniques and their effects on materials and material quality, the condition of materials, how these are managed, and materials testing methods and techniques
• business, commercial and financial awareness – basic commercial principles including commercial priorities and markets, customers/clients/partners and resource allocation

In addition to the core content, each student will also complete at least one module of occupation-specific content.
