About this course

Level 3 Engineering Technologies Course at Falmouth Marine School. Full-time daytime classes run over one year.

The course builds the technical knowledge employers look for in engineering roles. You'll study CAD pattern development, maintenance of mechanical systems, engineering science, and maths. It suits those aiming for marine or mechanical engineering work, and opens doors to further study too.

You'll finish with a Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Technologies.

Who this course is for

If you want to progress into more senior marine engineering roles this diploma builds the knowledge employers look for in problem solvers. You will study units such as CAD pattern development and maintenance of mechanical systems alongside engineering science and maths. It also creates opportunities to progress into a second year extended diploma higher apprenticeships or university engineering.
