Course Information for Students

The city of Derby and the surrounding area is world renowned for its engineering and manufacturing industry and is populated with world-leading employers and their high-quality supply chains.

The engineering sector is also still growing at a considerable rate, particularly with the development of new technologies which in turn has led to skill shortages and demand for high-performing engineers.

Using the latest suite of advanced engineering resources, the one-year Level 1 Engineering and Manufacturing Technology programme has been designed for school leavers to support their development as engineers, enabling them to progress to recognised vocational qualifications relevant to the sector. A key part of the course is the development of English and Mathematics to GCSE level.

Achievement of the following GCSE grades are the minimum entry requirements for the course:

  • English 2
  • Maths 2
  • Science 2

The course will focus on GCSE resits in English and Mathematics. 

The following Engineering topics will be covered on the course:

  • Electronics
  • Hand fitting
  • Welding
  • Fluid Power
  • Machining
  • Science

The completion of the Engineering components will lead to the award of a College certificate.

This course will be delivered on-site.

In addition to regular writing materials and a scientific calculator, specific PPE may need to be purchased for selected activities.

You will be assessed by a variety of methods including:

  • Written assignments
  • Practical assessments
  • Presentations
  • Project work
  • Examination – English and Maths
