Free BTEC Level 3 Engineering Course in Hull. Classes run at Hull College, full-time during the day. This two-year programme covers mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering, giving you both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. You'll study machining techniques, design and draughting, and engineering science. To start, you'll need four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including Maths, English, and Science. This level 3 btec engineering qualification is a strong foundation for engineering roles or further study.
Who this course is for
If you are looking for a career in engineering the Level 3 Engineering Study Programme gives you a solid foundation on which to start your journey. Covering practical and theoretical concepts to begin a career as an engineer. This programme is a general engineering programme with a focus on mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering to give you a clear understanding of the engineering industry. You will study machining techniques, design and draughting, engineering science and maths. Alongside the programme you will gain valuable work experience in the engineering industry and boost your employability skills for the sector. On completion of the course you will gain the equivalent of three A-levels and the UCAS points to move into higher education. From here you can go on to study HNC/D Engineering, FdSc Engineering Technology, or a BEng (Hons) Engineering Technology, to become an engineering technician, maintenance technician, design draughtsperson, or project engineer.
Entry requirements
4 x GCSEs at grade 4(C) or above, including Maths, English and Science
What you will learn
You'll study machining techniques used in mechanical engineering workshops.
You'll learn design and draughting principles for engineering projects.
You'll develop knowledge of engineering science, including forces, materials, and energy.
You'll explore electrical and electronic engineering concepts and systems.
You'll apply theoretical understanding to practical engineering tasks.
