| Who is the First Diploma for? It is a foundation course for students with a general interest in engineering.

You need at least three GCSEs including Mathematics, Science, and Design and Technology. What will I learn on the course? You will learn: · practical skills in manufacturing and maintenance · about engineering materials, Computer Assisted Design (CAD), engineering measurement · key skills in Information Technology (IT) How will I study? The course is full-time for one year. You will spend some time in the classroom but most of your time will be spent doing practical tasks in the workshop, in the laboratory, or on computer screen. How will I be assessed? Each project is marked (continuous assessment) and there are tests at the end of each term. What can I do when I finish the course? You can use your First Diploma to help you to find a job as an apprentice. Alternatively, you can continue your studies and specialize in the area that interests you most. |
