About this course

Free BTEC Level 3 Engineering Course in Harrow. Classes run at Stanmore College, full-time during the day. This Pearson Edexcel qualification covers engineering design, telecommunications, and mathematical principles in engineering contexts. You'll combine practical and theoretical study, and gain hands-on experience through work placements. The course takes one year. It's a strong foundation for moving into engineering employment or further study.

Who this course is for

The Engineering BTEC Diploma (and Extended Diploma) Level 3 is a technical course designed to prepare you for a career in engineering. You will study subjects related to engineering design, telecommunications, mathematical principles in engineering contexts. The course is focused on practical and theoretical knowledge. The course is equipped with latest resources so you can explore and research multiple aspects of engineering.

You will also gain hands-on experience through work placements at relevant institutions, such as engineering design firms or telecommunications companies. This will enable you to put your learning into practice. In addition to the academic studies, the programme includes enrichment opportunities such as lectures from local universities, understanding pathways to undergraduate engineering programmes, work shadowing, and industry days.

These experiences will provide valuable insights into the engineering profession and help prepare you for a future in an engineering related career. You could progress to study aeronautical, chemical, electrical and electronic, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, civil, automotive, and mechatronics.

What you will learn

  • You'll study engineering design principles and how to apply them.
  • You'll explore telecommunications and how it fits into engineering practice.
  • You'll apply mathematical principles to real engineering problems.
  • You'll develop practical skills through hands-on work in a well-resourced environment.
  • You'll gain workplace experience through an engineering work placement.

How you will learn

You'll learn through a mix of classroom teaching, practical sessions, and work placements. The BTEC format is largely assignment-based, so you'll complete coursework and projects that assess your knowledge and skills across each unit. There are no traditional written exams for most units.
