Level 1-2 Vocational award in Engineering

This vocational qualification introduces students to many basic engineering skills and principles. Students will learn how to communicate effectively as an engineer, by way of three-dimensional (3D) drawing techniques and technical drawings, as well as being able to use and identify many tools, machines and pieces of equipment that are commonplace in the engineering world. The course introduces learners to a range of considerations that impact engineering design and how modern engineering has had an impact on modern day life at home, work and in society in general.
