About this course

Free Level 3 Engineering Course in Leamington Spa. Classes run at Campion School, full-time during the day.

The course covers core engineering principles, including design, materials, manufacturing processes, and systems. You'll study both theory and practical skills. Around 9 hours of study are involved per week. The content is designed with input from universities and employers, so it reflects what the industry actually needs.

You'll finish with an OCR Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate in Engineering.

Who this course is for

Our Level 3 Cambridge Technicals in Engineering qualifications help your students to achieve their potential and progress to the next stage of their lives, whether that’s higher education, an apprenticeship or employment. We have designed refreshing and exciting content that’s up to date, engaging, fit for purpose and suitable for the needs of your students. To do this, we’ve consulted with universities, employers and industry specialists to make sure your students will gain the right combination of knowledge, understanding and skills required for the 21st century. An extensive range of centre-assessed units with practical and wider project based assessment opportunities, as well as examined units on the Principles of Mechanical Engineering and Principles of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has resulted in focussed qualifications. Depending on the size chosen, these qualifications either complement a Key Stage 5 study programme alongside other vocational qualifications or A Levels, or may make up the bulk of a two-year study programme. Our diplomas have vocational pathways within them that students can follow (one pathway must be achieved).
