Level 3 - Advanced Manufacturing Engineering is a two year course that provides the knowledge, understanding and skills for learners wishing to enter a career in the areas of Production or Manufacturing Engineering. This course provides the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in the design, development, manufacture and production of engineering products and systems. Equivalent to three A Levels, the course also provides a progression route to higher education for those wishing to go university, higher apprenticeships or routes into employment. Entry Requirements 5 x GCSEs at grade 4 or above (or acceptable alternatives), Must include English Language, Science and Maths (Maths preferably at grade 6 to cope with the demands of the course)

Level 2 - On this one-year, full-time qualification, you will have the opportunity to learn about the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of engineering products and systems. It is largely classroom-based with one two-hour practical workshop event per week. This qualification will help develop your engineering skills to keep up with rapidly developing technologies. It will give you the knowledge and skills you will need to meet the needs of modern engineering industries.

Level 1 - The Level 1 Engineering programme is a one-year course that provides the knowledge, understanding and skills for learners wishing to enter a career in the areas of Production or Manufacturing Engineering. It also provides a progression route to higher education qualifications such as EAL Level 2 Diploma in Engineering and part-time courses in Engineering (Apprenticeships). This course is designed to familiarise you with the fundamentals of operating machine tools such as lathes, drilling machines and workshop fitting tools. It will provide you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in workshop fitting, mechanical and production engineering. It is a combination of classroom study and practical workshop.

T Level - You will be assessed through written and practical examinations, employer set projects, group work and presentations. You will be set targets to work towards and achieve in your mandatory placement to help you develop the skills you need for your second-year practical assessment.

Level 3 - All units in this qualification are internally assessed and subject to external standards verification.The format of assessment are assignments taken after the content of the unit, or part of the unit has been delivered. An assignment may take a variety of forms, including practical and written types. Assignments are issued to learners as a document with a defined start date, completion date and clear requirements for the evidence that they need to provide. Assignments are divided into tasks and may require several forms of evidence.

Level 2 - Internally and externally asseses work and assesments

Level 1 - Online exams, assigments and techniques assesments

T Level - 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above to include English Language, Maths and Science and A keen interest in the topic is also beneficial.

Level 3 - 5 x GCSEs at grade 4 or above must include English Language, Science and Maths (Maths preferably at grade 6 to cope with the demands of the course)

Level 2 - 5 x GCSEs grades at grade 3 or above must include English Language, Maths and Science

Level 1 - 4 x GCSEs grades at grade 2 or above, to include English Language and Maths

T Level - The completion of this qualification gives the learner the opportunity to progress on to university level study or higher level Apprenticeships e.g. HNC in Engineering, MSc in Engineering. This includes our own university level offer at UC Sheffield

Level 3 - The next step could be to our own university-level engineering courses: HNC EngineeringHNC Electrical Engineering and HNC Manufacturing Engineering. Alternatively, students may wish to progress to another higher education course in this area, or undertake an apprenticeship.

Level 2 - This qualification would suit students who are looking for a career in manufacturing or production engineering.

Level 1 - Students who successfully complete this qualification may progress on to the Level 2 in Engineering.
