About this course

Level 3 Engineering Course in Egham. Classes run at Strode's College, full-time over 36 weeks.

This Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Certificate covers the core principles of engineering. You'll study topics including engineering design, mathematics for engineering, and the science behind how materials and systems work. The course gives you a solid grounding in both theory and practical application.

You'll need four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English Language and Science, and a grade 5 in Maths. You'll finish with a Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Engineering.

Who this course is for

At the moment the UK faces a chronic shortage of people with engineering skills and knowledge. Engineers have the biggest impact on the world over any other profession, they work to come up with solutions to global warming, machines for diagnosing serious medical conditions, and better transport systems that we use every day. If you want to make a difference in the world, engineering is for you. This course provides students with an entry point to becoming a professional Engineer.

Entry requirements

Requires four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English Language and Science, and a grade 5 in Maths

What you will learn

  • You'll explore engineering design principles and how to apply them.
  • You'll study mathematics used in engineering contexts.
  • You'll learn about the properties and behaviour of engineering materials.
  • You'll develop an understanding of mechanical and electrical systems.
  • You'll practise problem-solving techniques used by professional engineers.
