Engineering (SCQF Level 5) Academy Programme

What is special about this course?

This 1 year programme allows students to attend college on a part-time basis during 5th or 6th year at school. Participants will work towards a National Certificate (NC) in Engineering Systems - an entry-level course at SCQF Level 5 that provides a broad-based introduction to general engineering subjects, with a particular emphasis on practical skills and knowledge. Students may also have the chance to gain paid work experience with a local engineering company.

Entry requirements

Students should be about to start your 5th or 6th year at school and be studying (and expect to achieve) English and Maths at National 4 or above. Studying Physics or Engineering Science would also be an advantage.
