About this course

Level 2 Engineering Course in Blackpool. Classes run at Bispham Campus, full-time during the day.

Students aged 18 or under pay no course fees. If you're 19 to 23 years old, fees may be waived depending on your circumstances. The course runs for one year and covers the knowledge and practical skills behind engineering operations. You'll study topics such as engineering principles, materials, and manufacturing processes through classroom learning and hands-on activity.

You'll finish with a City and Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Engineering Operations.

Who this course is for

The City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Engineering Operations is designed to provide a strong introduction to the world of engineering for school leavers, particularly those who did not achieve a Grade 4 in Maths and/or English. This course offers an accessible and supportive learning environment to build both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, forming a solid foundation for progression to a Level 3 engineering programme. With a balance of classroom learning and hands-on experience, students will engage with a mix of theory and practical units. Assessment is coursework-based and includes short answer tests that are externally set by the awarding body. These assessments are designed to check knowledge and understanding in a clear, focused way, supporting learners' progression and confidence.
