The level 3 course is made up of 6 modules and 6 written assignments. Each module consists of 40 guided learning hours of material with an additional 30-50 hours worth of optional materials that comprise of recommended exercises, recommended readings, Internet resources, and self-testing exercises.
This qualification enables learners to develop essential knowledge in areas such as engineering principles, design technology, electricity, mechanics, statistics and mathematics.
Successful completion of this qualification will prepare learners for employment in the engineering sector or further learning.
This course is most suited to individuals who are at least 16 years old, have a high school education and wish to progress onto a degree at university.
Students will then have the opportunity to apply for admission onto a full undergraduate degree program into UR partner universities. Alternatively, students can opt to study our level 4/5 diploma in Engineering and then complete an undergraduate top-up at a range of US universities.
