To study this course you will need GCSE at grade C in engineering or a technology-based subject.

Next Steps:
You will have a good opportunity to gain employment within the many sectors of engineering at apprentice or higher levels.

The qualification will give you the necessary experience and knowledge to embark upon further or higher education, either at NVQ, HND or degree level.
