Engineering – Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies Level 1/2

If you like to explore how simple components and complex machines are designed, made or maintained and are keen to develop both practical and technical skills, then this qualification is for you.

The Engineering – Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing) Foundation Certificate Level 1 has been specifically designed to provide an introduction to a broad base of engineering skills, knowledge and understanding. You will study engineering manufacture, maintenance, CAD and English and Maths as part of your main programme.

At Level 2 Learners will study theoretical aspects of the subject and apply them to practical tasks.

This programme has been specifically designed to provide an introduction to a broad base of mechanical engineering skills and principles to allow you to progress to a higher level study at Level 2. You will experience a range of different engineering principles and learn from ex industry experts through lectures, practical activities, group and personal tutorials. You will also engage in GEM and GAP activities to develop your English, Maths and employability skills.

Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing) Foundation Certificate Level 1

Subjects studied are a selection of the following:

• Fitting Techniques
• Engineering Machining, Milling/Turning
• Health and Safety
• Using and Communicating Technical Information
• CAD – Computer Aided Design
• English, Maths and Employability Skills

Intermediate Technical Certificate – Mechanical & Manufacturing Technologies

The Engineering City and Guilds Intermediate Technical Certificate is ideal for learners wishing to develop their skills and knowledge within the engineering and manufacturing sector in order to progress to higher education (degree level) courses, apprenticeships and careers within the industry.

This course develops the essential skills and knowledge needed within the fields of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering. The core units provide a broad range of underpinning hand skills and knowledge needed to function in all industry sectors including mathematics, science, business operations and materials in the process that allows engineers to overcome a range of challenges. This pathway covers the following units:

In addition to your main study programme you will also engage in activities to develop your English, maths and employability skills.

Level 1: 3 GCSEs (grades A*-G/9-1), including English and Maths, and an interview.

Level 2: 4 GCSEs (grades A*-E/9-3), including English and Maths, or satisfactory results in a relevant Level 1 qualification (Merit/Distinction), and an interview. Applicants with previous experience of engineering technologies will be considered on an individual basis.

As part of your main study programme you will also engage in activities to develop your English, maths and employability skills.

Level 1: Further education and training, for example, the Engineering Level 2 Technical Certificate in Mechanical and Manufacturing Technologies. Successful students will be able to progress to employment whilst continuing their study via the day release programme or apply for an Apprenticeship.

Level 2: Successful learners can progress onto the Advanced Technical Certificate/Diploma in Engineering or onto an Advanced Apprenticeship, which are equivalent to 2 A Levels and available in a number of industry pathways including Manufacturing, Mechanical/Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Career routes within the Engineering industry include roles within the Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, Robotics and Maintenance sectors in roles such as Mechanical Engineers
