Entry requirements

5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above including English and Maths.

What you will learn

  • You'll apply health and safety practices in engineering workplaces.
  • You'll use mathematics and further engineering maths to solve technical problems.
  • You'll interpret and produce engineering drawings and computer-aided drafts.
  • You'll study mechanical principles and the properties of engineering materials.
  • You'll explore fabrication processes and mechanical measurement techniques.
  • You'll analyse mechanical and engineering systems and their applications.
  • You'll examine business operations and commercial aspects of engineering organisations.
  • You'll plan and complete an engineering project from brief to outcome.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom teaching and practical workshop sessions at the Bromsgrove Campus. The BTEC format is assignment-based. You'll be assessed through coursework, projects, and practical tasks rather than traditional exams. Each unit is assessed separately, and your work is marked against set criteria. The Engineering Project unit brings together skills from across the course.

What you will need to bring

You'll need workshop-suitable clothing, safety footwear, a scientific calculator, pens, pencils, paper, and a lever arch folder. Heart of Worcestershire College Bromsgrove Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.
