In 2013, the UK government began to reform skills training, with the aim of making them more rigorous and responsive to employers’ needs. Pearson (Edexcel) has been working closely with employer groups, referred to as Trailblazers, in the development of technical knowledge at BTEC level 3. These qualifications were designed to meet the requirements of an engineering apprenticeship and also to prepare students for progression to a range of higher education programmes. Under government business and educational rules, these qualifications have been designed to be:
- relevant to individuals and employers and affordable for all sizes of business and for individuals
- rigorous and based on a robust future-looking occupational standard designed and assessed by the sector
- recognised as worthy of investment, giving a clear signal of the economically valuable skills, knowledge and understanding required in an occupation now and in the future.
Tecol has been accredited by Pearson to offer this new 12-unit diploma, which provides a greater choice of technical units and progression paths, such as HNC/D
The qualifications give learners the opportunity to:
● develop core skills in communication, mathematics, health and safety in the engineering workplace
● develop their technical knowledge, in a wide range of mechanical and electrical engineering fields
● achieve a nationally-recognised Level 3 qualification.
The 3 core units of this course are:
- Health and Safety in the Engineering Workplace (Unit A1)
- Communication for engineering technicians (Unit A2)
- Mathematics for Engineering Technicians (Unit A3)
Plus 9 technical units:
