About this course

Level 3 Engineering Technologies Course in Cambridge. Classes run at Cambridge Regional College, full-time during the day over one year. This course builds on Level 2 engineering skills, taking you to technician level. You'll apply advanced engineering principles and practices, and develop the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. Entry requires internal progression from the Level 2 Engineering Technologies course at the college. Learners aged 19 or over are required to pay course fees. A concession rate is available.

Who this course is for

In this advanced study programme learners will build on previously developed engineering skills and apply advanced principles, practices and knowledge to enable learners to successfully work in an engineering environment at technician level or as an advanced apprentice. It will also provide learners with the ability to work independently working on their own initiative with the minimum of supervision.

The skills that will be further developed include, but will not be limited to:

Engineering and Environmental Health and Safety Engineering Organisational Efficiency and Improvement Computer Aided Design (CAD) Techniques Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming/Machining Analogue Electronics Digital Electronics Advanced Milling Advanced Turning Directed and private study

Additional Employability tuition will include:

IT skills to include the use of Word and Excel and engineering specialist software. E.g. Cimco Edit, Fanuc NC guide, AutoCAD and SolidWorks. CAD/CAM training. Employability Skills. Work Experience. Personal Professional Development - Preparation work in readiness for an job interview or apprenticeship in Engineering e.g. CV writing and completing job application forms. Functional skills or GCSE Maths/ English.

Entry requirements

This course is advanced and thus is not suitable for school leavers. This course requires internal progression from Level 2 Engineering Technologies.

Learners aged 19 or over will be required to pay course fees.
