Introduction to Engineering BTEC Diploma level 1

Our BTEC Level 1 Diploma in Introductory Award in Engineering is split into three key areas, Motor Vehicle Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. The course is designed to give students the opportunity to develop a range of skills in the engineering sector and support progression to further course of study.

Candidates aged 16-18 will be enrolled on a Vocational Study Programme which will include work experience, an employability programme, and either Functional Skills or GCSE Maths and English (depending on entry qualifications).


Starting with the basics of electronics, mechanical and manufacturing engineering you will learn about all the theory and practical aspects of this exciting industry.

All students will undertake a probationary period for the first six weeks of their programme. During this time, attendance, attitude, attainment and application towards study will be monitored. A final decision as to the most appropriate level and outcome will be discussed with you towards the end of your probationary period.
