About this course

Level 3 Engineering Course in Hull. Classes run at Wyke Sixth Form College, full-time over two years. The course is free if you're 16 to 18 years old. If you're 19 or over, fees may apply.

This Pearson Edexcel engineering qualification puts maths and science at its core. You'll study engineering principles, problem-solving techniques, and technical design. Assessment is split evenly between exams and coursework. The course suits anyone aiming for an engineering apprenticeship or a university degree in engineering.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Certificate in Engineering.

Who this course is for

Engineering is exciting, rewarding and creative. If you are analytical, imaginative and innovative, have a passion for problem solving and a keen eye for detail then this course is for you. If your future goal is to study engineering at university or to go on to an apprenticeship then the Cambridge Technical in Engineering is an ideal course for you. The essential parts of becoming any engineer is your understanding of both Mathematics and Science and because of this they are central in this course.

Entry requirements
