Lewis Corah BTEC Level 5 HND Mechanical Engineering

I chose TECOL as it allowed me to do my qualification whilst still working full time. I started using TECOL a number of years ago and have successfully gained my BTEC Level 3, HNC and now HND in Mechanical Engineering. The course material has been excellent and the tutors have always been there to answer any queries. Gaining my HND has enabled me to achieve the job I was working towards and has also opened up many other opportunities. I would highly recommend this learning method and I would like to thank everyone at TECOL for helping me achieve all my qualifications.

Timothy Keane Level 3 Engineering

As I have completed the course my employer has seen my commitment and offered to progress my education further. There isn’t much, anything it seemed at level 3 within a local mainstream college, allowing someone to work full time therefore I could not progress. Tecol however provided exactly what I needed and this permitted me to keep my employment whilst studying. One of the assessors was fantastic, she went above and beyond what she needed too and really was a stand out tutor of the course.  My employer has offered to support a HNC. I would certainly recommend TECOL. This is a perfect solution if you have got to a position where you now need a qualification to prove competency to progress but are later on in life.

Melina Ormrod Level 3 Engineering

The reason I chose to study using Distance Learning instead of a traditional college/uni classroom course was due to time constraints of studying as I am in full time employment. Also having the flexibility to complete the classes more quickly than scheduled if I wanted to was very useful.  I think the flexibility of being able to complete the work at your own pace and from home makes it much more convenient than a traditional college classroom course. I actually have found that the support offered from the tutors and the admin staff has actually been better than my experiences at traditional colleges as they are much more quick to get back to you. The learning resources were mostly good, but if I could recommend anything then a few more videos would be useful when explaining the complex concepts in unit A56. All in all this has been a very good experience with the course being highly relevant to my job where it has allowed me to move part time into a different role at work due to the knowledge acquired. I now plan to progress to HNC and change my role at work thanks to my studeis.

Tracy Lindup Level 3 Engineering

The reason I chose this course was to have a work/study balance throughout my time of study as I am working full time and this suited me. The course has proven to be very relevant to my job role. The various tutors have been available and helpful. The support has been good throughout. This has given me a good understanding and knowledge of the industry/environment that I work in and the knowledge that I have gained will help me to understand and write adequate work procedures taking all factors into consideration. I would recommend this course to anyone working in an engineering environment as you will find the information/learning on this course invaluable.

Russell Robinson BTEC Level 5 HND General Engineering

The reason I chose to study using TECOL’s distance learning instead of a traditional college/uni classroom course was due to the flexibility of learning program. The course has allowed a flexible learning approach and all of the course materials provided along with the tutor support has been excellent throughout. The HND covers both year 1 (level 4) and year 2 (level 5) of a traditional university degree and I am now using my HND to topup to a full BEng Hons degree in Engineering at uni.

I would like to thank everyone at Tecol for all the help and support I have received over the last four years, it is truly appreciated. It has both enabled me to further progress in my career and give me the necessary foundation to go on to study at degree level – something I thought I would never do!

Note that this pathway is considerably more cost effective than completing a 3 year BEng Hons degree at university and has allowed full time employment at the same time.

Dean Hutchinson Level 3 Engineering

This course course has expanded my knowledge to assist with Project Management roles I undertake. The learning materials are very good as is the support. I am currently a contractor and would have struggled to attend training centers or colleges therefore the whole distance learning model has allowed me to study when working away from home and also at my leisure.

Initially I selected this course to increase my understanding in the field of engineering as I have struggled over the years and also to potentially move forward and progress on to the HNC Engineering courses, again using distance learning. 

I would certainly recommend this course and the method of study as it suited my employment status as I was able to study in evenings when working away from home and in some cases, use real life experiences to assist with the assignments. Thanks TECOL.

Lee Skellet Level 3 Engineering

This course has proven very useful to my job/employment prospects. I found a lot of the content extremely relevant and inline with my real work and projects.  I could not get day release to attend the typical college so this option has worked really well for me. The course materials are really good and whenever I needed support it was given over email, tel and skype and I wasn’t simply handed answers but I was pointed in the right direction and guided with the problem solving process. This has been really useful for me. The course and assessments have been relevant to my work with many units covering many different industry areas and disciplines. The course, being so flexible, fits in with your life commitments with ease if you put the effort in. It will further your career.

Nik Lomas Level 3 Engineering 

This course has genuinely helped me change careers and hit the ground running, upon mentioning my learning achievements to date and goals for the future to my interviewer I was hired. The content of the course has been used daily since. The learning material provided was structured in such a way it prepared me perfectly for the assessments, all subjects were explained thoroughly in an easy to understand manner yet concisely enough to make the learning feel well paced and enjoyable. When support was required it was given quickly and in a pertinent fashion, either by video or written explanation depending  upon how it would best be received or put to use.

I am 40 years old and need to work full time, the flexibility of learning remotely enabled my learning progression, this would not have been possible going down a more traditional path. Financially I think it actually worked out cheaper to buy a course from yourselves (Tecol) than taking the time from work to attend college as any higher level courses require daytime attendance beyond the capabilities of a working individual.

This course is flexible regarding hours of study and the actual units being learned (tailored to what will benefit you the most). This course can be started at any time during year and does not only run from September or January onwards like most traditional college courses, cost  is also a big factor as there is no need to take time away from work to complete. The course material was all relevant, no time was wasted buying books or going to libraries, trawling the internet etc  so when I sat down to learn I was learning what I needed to and if I did need something explaining it was as easy as sending an email.

My plans are now to continue with my learning and progression within the engineering sector, hopefully attaining  a HNC in the near future.

Liam McStea Level 3 Engineering (6 units)

I work long hours and do not have the availability to go to college on a regular basis hence this distance learning course was ideal for me. The course learning materials provided by TECOL were well presented and gave me a good insight into all the subjects. Every time I asked for support from my tutor, they were very quick to offer assistance. Taking plenty of time to go through all the parts I struggled with until I fully understood the scenario. As a full time engineer this course gave me the ability to put my experience into writing. This will now help me further in my career with regards to explaining problems in the correct manner. It has also given me the necessary mathematical skills to improve my engineering design role. I will now take a short break and then hopefully study some more ideally aiming at HNC.

Adam Taylor BTEC Level 3 Award Engineering

There was plenty of information and content to study that was related to topic and the tutors were very attentive and helpful when I asked. This course was really tailored to my current role as a maintenance engineer within the automation industry. Coming from a commercial heating background I decided to study a BTEC L3 Award to gain more knowledge of the maintenance engineering industry and I can confirm it was really worth it as I am much more confident and I feel my technical ability has vastly improved also. I have a full time job that involves working an unsociable shift pattern so the traditional format of classroom learning is not possible for me and this was a great alternative. I would 100% recommend this to others who are in similar circumstances as I was, being from a different engineering discipline, seeking a way into the maintenance engineer role but didn’t hold the relevant qualifications. The recognised accreditation helps make that transition.

Charlie Birchley Level 3 Engineering

I have completed and passed 9 units (Certificate) at level 3. The course materials lad a great range of information and the tutors were always on hand for any queries that I had. The course has provided me with lots of new knowledge to take into my current role as an engineer. The style of learning that TECOL provided really suited my work/life balance allowing me to progress through the course at my own pace compared to having to attend a traditional college where I would have been restricted to certain days/times and travelling to attend.

William Proctor Level 3 Engineering 

This BTEC level 3 Engineering course has given me the flexibility I needed to be able work full time and spend time with my daughter, whilst studying in the evenings.  It was a great way to gain a fully accredited qualification whilst also giving me the flexibility to have a life away from studying. The study materials and the support from tutors was great and the course has proven to be very relevant and useful to my job/employment prospects. My future plans on completion of this course are now to work towards a HNC in Mechanical Engineering.

Lee Ashmore BTEC Level 4 HNC Electrical/Electronic Engineering

I have experienced prompt replies from the tutor team regarding any questions asked during the course and I have experienced no issues in understanding the assessment tasks. The course was very relevant and useful to my job/employment prospects as I work in engineering. Admin support was good when required. My plans on completion of this course are to continue on and topup with another 7 units to complete the BTEC Level 5 HND Electrical/Electronic Engineering course. Having completed my Level 3 BTEC in Engineering now with TECOL and more recently the BTEC Level 4 HNC in Electrical/Electronic Engineering I am happy to recommend this company to anyone looking to expand their qualifications.

Artur Kubieniec Level 3 Engineering

Working full time I simply have no time to attend lessons in a traditional college and therefore chose to study the same course with TECOL which has worked out well for me. You study in your own time but need to be motivated for online learning. I am now considering continuing in the future with HNC/HND.

Ben North Level 3 Engineering 

The course was good and I will hopefully add 3 further units in the near future. It suited me as I was able to study around my work commitments and importantly I was able to go at my pace. Thanks TECOL.

Steve Lawson BTEC Engineering

The course was great. Learning materials (notes) provided were very useful and interesting. The support from the tutors was excellent and quick when needed. I hop the course will now allow me to gain meaningful employment within the engineering industry. 

Lloyd Dichoso BTEC Engineering

Learning materials provided are very clear and easy to understand. Tutors were very helpful and responsive to any queries regarding the course which has been very relevant for future employment. I have had easy access to admin support, and they have been very responsive. My plans on completion of this course are for employment promotion.

Jake Wood BTEC Engineering

The learning materials really assisted in understanding the system and process behind the answers. Responses were on time and easy to understand. The course was beneficial as it was a basic qualification that I was lacking for my particular industry and a steppingstone to where I plan to go with my education. Admin response was on time and easy to understand. I wish to study further courses and acquire a Higher National Certificate. The tutor produced video links were vital in my engineering mathematics unit as they broke down the stages much clearer than just words on a page and I could rewind these and view time and time again.

Richard Stephens Level 3 Engineering

The reason I chose to study with TECOL using distance learning instead of a traditional college classroom was due to having a young family and suiting my home life. By studying through distance learning, I could utilise my weekends and evenings to complete my study and assessments as the support from my tutors was also available. The course is really well delivered with the assignments being challenging but also educational at the same time helping to close any learning gaps you may have. I have completed 9 units at level 3 and I am now considering the next step of HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

James Marsh Level 3 Electrical/Electronic Engineering 

The course learning materials provided were very useful and easy to understand. The course tutors and admin staff provided prompt and excellent support when asked. This course has increased relevant technical knowledge and has really helped me in my current employment. I am very pleased with the Tecol team and I would recommend them too anyone looking to gain further technical qualifications. I have future plans to continue studying engineering with Tecol, firstly at HNC level and then HND.

Adam Fraser Level 3 Engineering

Tecol’s distance learning mode has been a great way of progressing within my field whilst still working full time. The tutoring and admin staff have always been there if any assistance has been required and I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking to try distance learning.

Edward Bradford HNC Mechanical Engineering 

Easy to follow course notes and PDF copies of books. Tutor support, when required, was prompt and easy through skype, email and tel. The HNC Engineering course has been extremely useful to me as I work in automation and I am currently looking at joining the design team at work. Now that I have completed my HNC I am hoping to move soon into our deign team.

Efthymia Theodoridou Level 3 Engineering (General)

The tutors were so helpful with everything that I needed and I am very happy with what I learned during the course because it has directly helped me with my career. The knowledge I got from the units throughout my course has helped me with my current job and when I had a recent interview with the engineering manager I was able to provide evidence from my course and he told me that he already knew TECOL and has accepted me for the new post. This course absolutely helped me gain my recent promotion and my new job means that I have no immediate plans to study further but might consider this in the future. I would like to recommend improvements to the course I studied, but I don’t have any recommendations. Happy with the outcome.

Arkadiusz Stando Level 3 Engineering 

TECOLs learning materials were great and everything that was needed was there ready for me which was just great. I’m really happy with course content and the way it has been delivered. My tutors were there to help to guide me in the right direction anytime I asked. I have been working in heavy industry all my life, so I was familiar with some topics but some were new to me.  New knowledge and skills will help me out with my progress in the future but right now I am going to progress with TECOL and undertake the HNC course in Mechanical Engineering.

Grant Denny Level 3 Engineering

I cannot speak highly enough of the support I have received from tutors Geoff and Bill as they were very supportive throughout the course when required.  I currently have a job as a technical author and required an engineering qualification to support my work. I have found the health and safety section very useful for my current role. However the Mech Principles and Applications of Mechanical Systems units will no doubt be useful as I progress in my role.
My plans in the future are to hopefully get a promotion and take on the role of lead technical author.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the help when completing this course. It really is  appreciated. I cannot think of anything that would really improve the course. Having seen online courses from other companies completed by work colleagues, they agree that the course material I received was by far the clearest and most informative information. The assessment process is simple and easy to understand. Results are turned round quickly, with clear feedback provided in the assessors response. Thank you TECOL.

Mark Fairley HNC General Engineering

All coursework material was of a good standard to help you achieve your desired assessment grade in each of the units. When I had any queries these were responded to in a timely manner and with adequate assistance. I would say that some tutors provided more feedback than others but having completed this HNC I will be moving forward with higher levels of education (HND level 5 with TECOL) which will allow me to follow my chosen carer path into upper management.

Mark Richardson HNC Mechanical Engineering (Level 4) 

TECOL’s course material was supplied online and continually updated to support each of the units. Tutor support for each unit was always received as and when required. As a mature student I have found it useful to undertake this courses to refresh/remind myself of the principles. Now having successfully completed the course I will be shortly undertaking the Level 5 HND Engineering progression. 

Alastair Smith HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering

The TECOL tutors have been really helpful in explaining topics when asked to help me understand. I needed this qualification for my new job and without it I would not have got the job or the increase in pay.  The admin staff have been very timely and accurate with their support information throughout. My future plans are further study at HND level with TECOL after a study break. My new job in the High Voltage sector started in April 22. 

Roberta Whitlock BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I really loved this course. The learning resources provided were great and the tutors were helpful. I am currently working in Engineering and completing this course has since helped me to gain a promotion and has certainly opened doors for me. Having completed the level 3 course I am now planning on progressing to the HNC Engineering course. 

Alex Loader HNC General Engineering

A lot of information was made available for each of the units I studied, including very useful video demos where calculations had to be used. The support from my tutors was excellent, they provided as much help as possible. They managed to break down information that appeared complicated, whilst providing real helpful feedback. The response time of tutors was very quick too. Some of the course materials will help in my current employment, however my intentions are to move on with further study, in which the course material will prove invaluable. I intend to use my new HNC Engineering qualification to increase job prospects and to gain a higher skilled career. Everything has been excellent with the service at TECOL. 

Adam Millard BTEC Level 3 Engineering

The units that I studied have been relevant to my job (apart from the Comms unit). Tutors gave me excellent support when asked. I found the learning materials to be good but on occasion there were questions that were a bit ambiguous. TECOL staff provided me with excellent support and were very quick in response to e-mails, also very helpful with any issues I have had throughout. I am using this course now to gain employment as a Mechanical/Electrical Engineer.

Alexander Clarke BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I found the learning materials provided by TECOL to be very helpful when completing my assessments and I had no issues in understanding them. TECOLs tutoring team where very helpful and knowledgeable when I required support. The admin team answered any queries in a timely manner. I am now able to apply for promotion after completion of the 6 unit BTEC Level 3 Engineering programme which was my goal.  Further study in the future is a option that I am considering, but promotion at work is the first objective for me at present. 

John Heesom BTEC Level 3 Engineering

Tecol tutors were very helpful and approachable. Due to some recent employment changes I plan to use what I have studied with TECOL to now study a management based course.

Paul Kirby BTEC Level 3 Engineering

Learning materials and support were very good and the course was really relevant to my employment. After achieving 2 distinction, 1 merit and 3 pass grades I plan to study further with TECOL. 

Matthew Woolard BTEC Level 3 Engineering (6 units)

I have been drafting mechanical drawings for some time now and this course has verified my knowledge further and helped to expand my range of capabilities. Some material required further research, but it encouraged me to investigate further and in turn expanded my own knowledge. I will now be taking a year out from my studies, however, with the UCAS points and knowledge attained from this course, I will be planning on studying a degree in Engineering Design as of September 2022. I will now also have a strong place on the project design team at my workplace. Thanks TECOL.

Dan Carr HND Mechanical Engineering

Tecol have been supportive throughout my three year course and would highly recommend their services. Balancing a fulltime job as well as an online course was made easy by Tecol due to the course material which I found easy to access and understand, plus when required, the tutors help is always there including quick and efficient responses. I wish Tecol all the best going forward and thank them for their help in finishing my HND course which would have been impossible without online distance learning and their support.

Richard Robinson BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I found that I rarely needed assistance, but when required, all communication was swift. I’m already in a very technical role but this course has now given me a greater foundation of knowledge to build on as I progress in my work.  I am planning for further study at HNC Level 4, then an employment promotion hopefully. The HNC topics that I plan now to study will be even more applicable to build on my current role at work. All good.

Alexander Oldridge BTEC Level 3 Engineering

Helpful learning materials. The team were very helpful when I requested support. Support and advice was always there when I asked. 

Elaine Jameson BTEC Level 3 Engineering

The material was structured very well. I liked the links all the way through to different videos/websites to learn more about that particular subject. I found the tutors very helpful, if l had any queries they would respond quickly. A large amount of what l learned from this course l have been able to apply in my current role. (Mechanical Design Engineer) A stepping stone to my goal of becoming a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer. Admin – I have found the team very helpful, l was given all the information l needed. I enjoyed taking this course, it was challenging at times but very rewarding. It has given me the confidence to think about higher education. My plans on completion of this course are?  I’m thinking about higher education, HND level. And also employment promotion.

Callum Lock BTEC Engineering

The learning materials and the tutors were very good and I was able to learn all required from them. Hopefully this level 3 certification will now lead to promotion at my work, which was the original reason for undertaking the course. I am currently waiting on my employer deciding if they wish me to go down the HNC or HND route.

Fraser Moore BTEC Engineering

Course tutors were always helpful when answering queries and made it clear what needed to be done to understand certain tasks that I may have struggled with. The worked example videos in the learning materials were extremely useful as I could replay these over and over if required. Working for an engineering company I felt that this course was very fitting to my role and I could relate certain units and tasks to my day to day work life. I am now taking a break from further learning, but may decide to study a higher level in future.

Ramunas Siupinys BTEC Engineering

The materials provided were sufficient and there were extra links to additional study material. The support from the teaching team was very responsive and fast – this was very professional. This course should now help me get the dream job in the electronics industry within microprocessor programming. The admin people were very easy to communicate with and they were always helpful and supportive when asked. My plans are now for further education and employment.

Alexandra Williams – BTEC Level 3 Engineering  The course provided me with easy access to learning materials and tutors. Assessments were easy to request and overall a training provider I would recommend. This will now gain me employment promotion opportunites and I hope to enter Higher Education.

Michael Rendle – BTEC Level 3 Engineering (3 units & 6 units)

The course learning materials were very clear and well presented. Tutor support was good and clear. This course will hopefully be the starting block to get me to where I’d like to be. The course set up was effortless. Having now completed I have decided to do more units and have topped up onto the Diploma. I will hopefully move onto a HND afterwards.

Paige Carter – 6 unit Level 3 Engineering Mech/Electrical

Booklets were very informative and the course was very useful as I’m a mechanical fitter. Doing the combined mechanical/electrical course has widened my knowledge in the electrical sector of my job. The TECOL team have always been very responsive when I have asked. My plans on completion of this course are to carry on in the engineering industry and I am currently looking to complete a HNC in the future. I would recommend this to others.

Andrzej Dabal – Engineering (6 units & 9 units) 

At the moment I have completed 6 units I am now currently carrying on with an extra 3 units to make it up to the BTEC Level 3 90 Credit Diploma (9 units). After that I plan to carry on learning and start a HNC in engineering. I would like to apply for an electrical mechanical engineering position this year at my workplace and the current qualification will allow me to do this.

John Wilson – Electrical / Electronic Engineering

The learning materials for my course were excellent. When required, the tutors responded in a timely and effective manner. My course was paid for by my employer, as a help towards my current employment in commercial operations for an Engineering department. I am discussing with my Employer with regards to further education using TECOL for the next level of HNC. The Course was very useful for me, I have not participated in education for many years and I have found this a good introduction on the requirements of BTEC Engineering and coursework requirements.

Alexander Wakefield – Engineering

Absolutely excellent service provided by the tutors at TECOL. Contact was excellent and help was always there when needed. Excellent people! This will be an essential foundation for my future career path, and I thank everyone at Tecol for the ability to study towards this qualification so easily entirely online! A final thanks to Bill, Geoff and all of the admin team at Tecol for the outstanding service and constant contact when needed! An absolute credit to the education system and the course content was sublime! Thanks, Tecol – Very happy customer!

Anthony Ford  – Engineering        

Units studied here were truly relevant and covered a really good spread of things, an idea for future maybe to add a little something on types of couplings/fittings and different thread types NPT/BSP etc. Really good course and maybe tempted to take the electrical engineering course when I get myself sorted.

Matthew Tracey  – Electrical & Electronic Engineering            

Learning materials and support were great during this course. I did this course for my current job and have found this really useful.

Carl Rees-Davies – Electrical & Electronic Engineering

The support was really good, and the course was really relevant to my job. I am now completing the HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering with the TECOL team and I may then complete an HND.

Adam Barker – Engineering (Electrical/Mechanical) 

The support was always there when the tutors were asked by email/skype/tel. Always willing to help friendly tutors regularly at hand to help and even free out of scheduled hours. Some criteria I use already in my work but also some criteria I will find very useful for the future. My plans on completion of this course are employment promotion and potential further studies. Top service from all the guys at Tecol and I could not really fault them, always willing to help and be flexible and have already recommended their service to a few of my colleagues. 

Anthony Moran – BTEC Level 3 Engineering & HNC Mechanical Engineering                                             

Online studying suits my lifestyle I work shifts so I can study around work and my family commitments. Studying in modules at my pace means I am in control how I progress with online support from a tutor if needed. Learning keeps you current and benefits my employer with a more rounded employee and I achieve industry recognised BTEC qualifications that go hand in hand with my practical experience. Benefits as a student for a small fee the NUS extra card is recognised at many outlets such as Amazon Student Prime. Have completed the Level 3 Engineering course Oct 19 and moved straight to HNC which is working out well so far!

Richard Stephens Level 3 Engineering

The reason I chose to study with TECOL using distance learning instead of a traditional college classroom was due to having a young family and suiting my home life. By studying through distance learning, I could utilise my weekends and evenings to complete my study and assessments as the support from my tutors was also available. The course is really well delivered with the assignments being challenging but also educational at the same time helping to close any learning gaps you may have. I have completed 9 units at level 3 and I am now considering the next step of HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

James Marsh Level 3 Electrical/Electronic Engineering 

The course learning materials provided were very useful and easy to understand. The course tutors and admin staff provided prompt and excellent support when asked. This course has increased relevant technical knowledge and has really helped me in my current employment. I am very pleased with the Tecol team and I would recommend them too anyone looking to gain further technical qualifications. I have future plans to continue studying engineering with Tecol, firstly at HNC level and then HND.

Adam Fraser Level 3 Engineering

Tecol’s distance learning mode has been a great way of progressing within my field whilst still working full time. The tutoring and admin staff have always been there if any assistance has been required and I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking to try distance learning.

Edward Bradford HNC Mechanical Engineering 

Easy to follow course notes and PDF copies of books. Tutor support, when required, was prompt and easy through skype, email and tel. The HNC Engineering course has been extremely useful to me as I work in automation and I am currently looking at joining the design team at work. Now that I have completed my HNC I am hoping to move soon into our deign team.

Efthymia Theodoridou Level 3 Engineering (General)

The tutors were so helpful with everything that I needed and I am very happy with what I learned during the course because it has directly helped me with my career. The knowledge I got from the units throughout my course has helped me with my current job and when I had a recent interview with the engineering manager I was able to provide evidence from my course and he told me that he already knew TECOL and has accepted me for the new post. This course absolutely helped me gain my recent promotion and my new job means that I have no immediate plans to study further but might consider this in the future. I would like to recommend improvements to the course I studied, but I don’t have any recommendations. Happy with the outcome.

Arkadiusz Stando Level 3 Engineering 

TECOLs learning materials were great and everything that was needed was there ready for me which was just great. I’m really happy with course content and the way it has been delivered. My tutors were there to help to guide me in the right direction anytime I asked. I have been working in heavy industry all my life, so I was familiar with some topics but some were new to me.  New knowledge and skills will help me out with my progress in the future but right now I am going to progress with TECOL and undertake the HNC course in Mechanical Engineering.

Grant Denny Level 3 Engineering

I cannot speak highly enough of the support I have received from tutors Geoff and Bill as they were very supportive throughout the course when required.  I currently have a job as a technical author and required an engineering qualification to support my work. I have found the health and safety section very useful for my current role. However the Mech Principles and Applications of Mechanical Systems units will no doubt be useful as I progress in my role.
My plans in the future are to hopefully get a promotion and take on the role of lead technical author.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the help when completing this course. It really is  appreciated. I cannot think of anything that would really improve the course. Having seen online courses from other companies completed by work colleagues, they agree that the course material I received was by far the clearest and most informative information. The assessment process is simple and easy to understand. Results are turned round quickly, with clear feedback provided in the assessors response. Thank you TECOL.

Alexandra Williams – BTEC Level 3 Engineering  The course provided me with easy access to learning materials and tutors. Assessments were easy to request and overall a training provider I would recommend. This will now gain me employment promotion opportunites and I hope to enter Higher Education.

Michael Rendle – BTEC Level 3 Engineering (3 units & 6 units)

The course learning materials were very clear and well presented. Tutor support was good and clear. This course will hopefully be the starting block to get me to where I’d like to be. The course set up was effortless. Having now completed I have decided to do more units and have topped up onto the Diploma. I will hopefully move onto a HND afterwards.

Paige Carter – 6 unit Level 3 Engineering Mech/Electrical

Booklets were very informative and the course was very useful as I’m a mechanical fitter. Doing the combined mechanical/electrical course has widened my knowledge in the electrical sector of my job. The TECOL team have always been very responsive when I have asked. My plans on completion of this course are to carry on in the engineering industry and I am currently looking to complete a HNC in the future. I would recommend this to others.

Andrzej Dabal – Engineering (6 units & 9 units) 

At the moment I have completed 6 units I am now currently carrying on with an extra 3 units to make it up to the BTEC Level 3 90 Credit Diploma (9 units). After that I plan to carry on learning and start a HNC in engineering. I would like to apply for an electrical mechanical engineering position this year at my workplace and the current qualification will allow me to do this.

John Wilson – Electrical / Electronic Engineering

The learning materials for my course were excellent. When required, the tutors responded in a timely and effective manner. My course was paid for by my employer, as a help towards my current employment in commercial operations for an Engineering department. I am discussing with my Employer with regards to further education using TECOL for the next level of HNC. The Course was very useful for me, I have not participated in education for many years and I have found this a good introduction on the requirements of BTEC Engineering and coursework requirements.

Alexander Wakefield – Engineering

Absolutely excellent service provided by the tutors at TECOL. Contact was excellent and help was always there when needed. Excellent people! This will be an essential foundation for my future career path, and I thank everyone at Tecol for the ability to study towards this qualification so easily entirely online! A final thanks to Bill, Geoff and all of the admin team at Tecol for the outstanding service and constant contact when needed! An absolute credit to the education system and the course content was sublime! Thanks, Tecol – Very happy customer!

Anthony Ford  – Engineering        

Units studied here were truly relevant and covered a really good spread of things, an idea for future maybe to add a little something on types of couplings/fittings and different thread types NPT/BSP etc. Really good course and maybe tempted to take the electrical engineering course when I get myself sorted.

Matthew Tracey  – Electrical & Electronic Engineering            

Learning materials and support were great during this course. I did this course for my current job and have found this really useful.

Carl Rees-Davies – Electrical & Electronic Engineering

The support was really good, and the course was really relevant to my job. I am now completing the HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering with the TECOL team and I may then complete an HND.

Adam Barker – Engineering (Electrical/Mechanical) 

The support was always there when the tutors were asked by email/skype/tel. Always willing to help friendly tutors regularly at hand to help and even free out of scheduled hours. Some criteria I use already in my work but also some criteria I will find very useful for the future. My plans on completion of this course are employment promotion and potential further studies. Top service from all the guys at Tecol and I could not really fault them, always willing to help and be flexible and have already recommended their service to a few of my colleagues. 

Anthony Moran – BTEC Level 3 Engineering & HNC Mechanical Engineering                                             

Online studying suits my lifestyle I work shifts so I can study around work and my family commitments. Studying in modules at my pace means I am in control how I progress with online support from a tutor if needed. Learning keeps you current and benefits my employer with a more rounded employee and I achieve industry recognised BTEC qualifications that go hand in hand with my practical experience. Benefits as a student for a small fee the NUS extra card is recognised at many outlets such as Amazon Student Prime. Have completed the Level 3 Engineering course Oct 19 and moved straight to HNC which is working out well so far!

Richard Stephens Level 3 Engineering

The reason I chose to study with TECOL using distance learning instead of a traditional college classroom was due to having a young family and suiting my home life. By studying through distance learning, I could utilise my weekends and evenings to complete my study and assessments as the support from my tutors was also available. The course is really well delivered with the assignments being challenging but also educational at the same time helping to close any learning gaps you may have. I have completed 9 units at level 3 and I am now considering the next step of HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

James Marsh Level 3 Electrical/Electronic Engineering 

The course learning materials provided were very useful and easy to understand. The course tutors and admin staff provided prompt and excellent support when asked. This course has increased relevant technical knowledge and has really helped me in my current employment. I am very pleased with the Tecol team and I would recommend them too anyone looking to gain further technical qualifications. I have future plans to continue studying engineering with Tecol, firstly at HNC level and then HND.

Adam Fraser Level 3 Engineering

Tecol’s distance learning mode has been a great way of progressing within my field whilst still working full time. The tutoring and admin staff have always been there if any assistance has been required and I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking to try distance learning.

Edward Bradford HNC Mechanical Engineering 

Easy to follow course notes and PDF copies of books. Tutor support, when required, was prompt and easy through skype, email and tel. The HNC Engineering course has been extremely useful to me as I work in automation and I am currently looking at joining the design team at work. Now that I have completed my HNC I am hoping to move soon into our deign team.

Efthymia Theodoridou Level 3 Engineering (General)

The tutors were so helpful with everything that I needed and I am very happy with what I learned during the course because it has directly helped me with my career. The knowledge I got from the units throughout my course has helped me with my current job and when I had a recent interview with the engineering manager I was able to provide evidence from my course and he told me that he already knew TECOL and has accepted me for the new post. This course absolutely helped me gain my recent promotion and my new job means that I have no immediate plans to study further but might consider this in the future. I would like to recommend improvements to the course I studied, but I don’t have any recommendations. Happy with the outcome.

Arkadiusz Stando Level 3 Engineering 

TECOLs learning materials were great and everything that was needed was there ready for me which was just great. I’m really happy with course content and the way it has been delivered. My tutors were there to help to guide me in the right direction anytime I asked. I have been working in heavy industry all my life, so I was familiar with some topics but some were new to me.  New knowledge and skills will help me out with my progress in the future but right now I am going to progress with TECOL and undertake the HNC course in Mechanical Engineering.

Grant Denny Level 3 Engineering

I cannot speak highly enough of the support I have received from tutors Geoff and Bill as they were very supportive throughout the course when required.  I currently have a job as a technical author and required an engineering qualification to support my work. I have found the health and safety section very useful for my current role. However the Mech Principles and Applications of Mechanical Systems units will no doubt be useful as I progress in my role.
My plans in the future are to hopefully get a promotion and take on the role of lead technical author.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the help when completing this course. It really is  appreciated. I cannot think of anything that would really improve the course. Having seen online courses from other companies completed by work colleagues, they agree that the course material I received was by far the clearest and most informative information. The assessment process is simple and easy to understand. Results are turned round quickly, with clear feedback provided in the assessors response. Thank you TECOL.

Mark Fairley HNC General Engineering

All coursework material was of a good standard to help you achieve your desired assessment grade in each of the units. When I had any queries these were responded to in a timely manner and with adequate assistance. I would say that some tutors provided more feedback than others but having completed this HNC I will be moving forward with higher levels of education (HND level 5 with TECOL) which will allow me to follow my chosen carer path into upper management.

Mark Richardson HNC Mechanical Engineering (Level 4) 

TECOL’s course material was supplied online and continually updated to support each of the units. Tutor support for each unit was always received as and when required. As a mature student I have found it useful to undertake this courses to refresh/remind myself of the principles. Now having successfully completed the course I will be shortly undertaking the Level 5 HND Engineering progression. 

Alastair Smith HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering

The TECOL tutors have been really helpful in explaining topics when asked to help me understand. I needed this qualification for my new job and without it I would not have got the job or the increase in pay.  The admin staff have been very timely and accurate with their support information throughout. My future plans are further study at HND level with TECOL after a study break. My new job in the High Voltage sector started in April 22. 

Roberta Whitlock BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I really loved this course. The learning resources provided were great and the tutors were helpful. I am currently working in Engineering and completing this course has since helped me to gain a promotion and has certainly opened doors for me. Having completed the level 3 course I am now planning on progressing to the HNC Engineering course. 

Alex Loader HNC General Engineering

A lot of information was made available for each of the units I studied, including very useful video demos where calculations had to be used. The support from my tutors was excellent, they provided as much help as possible. They managed to break down information that appeared complicated, whilst providing real helpful feedback. The response time of tutors was very quick too. Some of the course materials will help in my current employment, however my intentions are to move on with further study, in which the course material will prove invaluable. I intend to use my new HNC Engineering qualification to increase job prospects and to gain a higher skilled career. Everything has been excellent with the service at TECOL. 

Adam Millard BTEC Level 3 Engineering

The units that I studied have been relevant to my job (apart from the Comms unit). Tutors gave me excellent support when asked. I found the learning materials to be good but on occasion there were questions that were a bit ambiguous. TECOL staff provided me with excellent support and were very quick in response to e-mails, also very helpful with any issues I have had throughout. I am using this course now to gain employment as a Mechanical/Electrical Engineer.

Alexander Clarke BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I found the learning materials provided by TECOL to be very helpful when completing my assessments and I had no issues in understanding them. TECOLs tutoring team where very helpful and knowledgeable when I required support. The admin team answered any queries in a timely manner. I am now able to apply for promotion after completion of the 6 unit BTEC Level 3 Engineering programme which was my goal.  Further study in the future is a option that I am considering, but promotion at work is the first objective for me at present. 

John Heesom BTEC Level 3 Engineering

Tecol tutors were very helpful and approachable. Due to some recent employment changes I plan to use what I have studied with TECOL to now study a management based course.

Paul Kirby BTEC Level 3 Engineering

Learning materials and support were very good and the course was really relevant to my employment. After achieving 2 distinction, 1 merit and 3 pass grades I plan to study further with TECOL. 

Matthew Woolard BTEC Level 3 Engineering (6 units)

I have been drafting mechanical drawings for some time now and this course has verified my knowledge further and helped to expand my range of capabilities. Some material required further research, but it encouraged me to investigate further and in turn expanded my own knowledge. I will now be taking a year out from my studies, however, with the UCAS points and knowledge attained from this course, I will be planning on studying a degree in Engineering Design as of September 2022. I will now also have a strong place on the project design team at my workplace. Thanks TECOL.

Dan Carr HND Mechanical Engineering

Tecol have been supportive throughout my three year course and would highly recommend their services. Balancing a fulltime job as well as an online course was made easy by Tecol due to the course material which I found easy to access and understand, plus when required, the tutors help is always there including quick and efficient responses. I wish Tecol all the best going forward and thank them for their help in finishing my HND course which would have been impossible without online distance learning and their support.

Richard Robinson BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I found that I rarely needed assistance, but when required, all communication was swift. I’m already in a very technical role but this course has now given me a greater foundation of knowledge to build on as I progress in my work.  I am planning for further study at HNC Level 4, then an employment promotion hopefully. The HNC topics that I plan now to study will be even more applicable to build on my current role at work. All good.

Alexander Oldridge BTEC Level 3 Engineering

Helpful learning materials. The team were very helpful when I requested support. Support and advice was always there when I asked. 

Lee Ashmore BTEC Level 4 HNC Electrical/Electronic Engineering

I have experienced prompt replies from the tutor team regarding any questions asked during the course and I have experienced no issues in understanding the assessment tasks. The course was very relevant and useful to my job/employment prospects as I work in engineering. Admin support was good when required. My plans on completion of this course are to continue on and topup with another 7 units to complete the BTEC Level 5 HND Electrical/Electronic Engineering course. Having completed my Level 3 BTEC in Engineering now with TECOL and more recently the BTEC Level 4 HNC in Electrical/Electronic Engineering I am happy to recommend this company to anyone looking to expand their qualifications.

Elaine Jameson BTEC Level 3 Engineering

The material was structured very well. I liked the links all the way through to different videos/websites to learn more about that particular subject. I found the tutors very helpful, if l had any queries they would respond quickly. A large amount of what l learned from this course l have been able to apply in my current role. (Mechanical Design Engineer) A stepping stone to my goal of becoming a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer. Admin – I have found the team very helpful, l was given all the information l needed. I enjoyed taking this course, it was challenging at times but very rewarding. It has given me the confidence to think about higher education. My plans on completion of this course are?  I’m thinking about higher education, HND level. And also employment promotion.

Callum Lock BTEC Engineering

The learning materials and the tutors were very good and I was able to learn all required from them. Hopefully this level 3 certification will now lead to promotion at my work, which was the original reason for undertaking the course. I am currently waiting on my employer deciding if they wish me to go down the HNC or HND route.

Fraser Moore BTEC Engineering

Course tutors were always helpful when answering queries and made it clear what needed to be done to understand certain tasks that I may have struggled with. The worked example videos in the learning materials were extremely useful as I could replay these over and over if required. Working for an engineering company I felt that this course was very fitting to my role and I could relate certain units and tasks to my day to day work life. I am now taking a break from further learning, but may decide to study a higher level in future.

Ramunas Siupinys BTEC Engineering

The materials provided were sufficient and there were extra links to additional study material. The support from the teaching team was very responsive and fast – this was very professional. This course should now help me get the dream job in the electronics industry within microprocessor programming. The admin people were very easy to communicate with and they were always helpful and supportive when asked. My plans are now for further education and employment.

Steve Lawson BTEC Engineering

The course was great. Learning materials (notes) provided were very useful and interesting. The support from the tutors was excellent and quick when needed. I hop the course will now allow me to gain meaningful employment within the engineering industry.

I have had easy access to admin support, and they have been very responsive. My plans on completion of this course are for employment promotion.

Jake Wood BTEC Engineering

The learning materials really assisted in understanding the system and process behind the answers. Responses were on time and easy to understand. The course was beneficial as it was a basic qualification that I was lacking for my particular industry and a steppingstone to where I plan to go with my education. Admin response was on time and easy to understand. I wish to study further courses and acquire a Higher National Certificate. The tutor produced video links were vital in my engineering mathematics unit as they broke down the stages much clearer than just words on a page and I could rewind these and view time and time again.

Matthew Woolard BTEC Level 3 Engineering (6 units)

I have been drafting mechanical drawings for some time now and this course has verified my knowledge further and helped to expand my range of capabilities. Some material required further research, but it encouraged me to investigate further and in turn expanded my own knowledge. I will now be taking a year out from my studies, however, with the UCAS points and knowledge attained from this course, I will be planning on studying a degree in Engineering Design as of September 2022. I will now also have a strong place on the project design team at my workplace. Thanks TECOL.

Dan Carr HND Mechanical Engineering

Tecol have been supportive throughout my three year course and would highly recommend their services. Balancing a fulltime job as well as an online course was made easy by Tecol due to the course material which I found easy to access and understand, plus when required, the tutors help is always there including quick and efficient responses. I wish Tecol all the best going forward and thank them for their help in finishing my HND course which would have been impossible without online distance learning and their support.

Richard Robinson BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I found that I rarely needed assistance, but when required, all communication was swift. I’m already in a very technical role but this course has now given me a greater foundation of knowledge to build on as I progress in my work.  I am planning for further study at HNC Level 4, then an employment promotion hopefully. The HNC topics that I plan now to study will be even more applicable to build on my current role at work. All good.

Always willing to help friendly tutors regularly at hand to help and even free out of scheduled hours. Some criteria I use already in my work but also some criteria I will find very useful for the future. My plans on completion of this course are employment promotion and potential further studies. Top service from all the guys at Tecol and I could not really fault them, always willing to help and be flexible and have already recommended their service to a few of my colleagues. 

Anthony Moran – BTEC Level 3 Engineering & HNC Mechanical Engineering                                             

Online studying suits my lifestyle I work shifts so I can study around work and my family commitments. Studying in modules at my pace means I am in control how I progress with online support from a tutor if needed. Learning keeps you current and benefits my employer with a more rounded employee and I achieve industry recognised BTEC qualifications that go hand in hand with my practical experience. Benefits as a student for a small fee the NUS extra card is recognised at many outlets such as Amazon Student Prime. Have completed the Level 3 Engineering course Oct 19 and moved straight to HNC which is working out well so far!
Mark Fairley HNC General Engineering

All coursework material was of a good standard to help you achieve your desired assessment grade in each of the units. When I had any queries these were responded to in a timely manner and with adequate assistance. I would say that some tutors provided more feedback than others but having completed this HNC I will be moving forward with higher levels of education (HND level 5 with TECOL) which will allow me to follow my chosen carer path into upper management.

Mark Richardson HNC Mechanical Engineering (Level 4) 

TECOL’s course material was supplied online and continually updated to support each of the units. Tutor support for each unit was always received as and when required.

Now having successfully completed the course I will be shortly undertaking the Level 5 HND Engineering progression. 

Alastair Smith HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering

The TECOL tutors have been really helpful in explaining topics when asked to help me understand. I needed this qualification for my new job and without it I would not have got the job or the increase in pay.  The admin staff have been very timely and accurate with their support information throughout. My future plans are further study at HND level with TECOL after a study break. My new job in the High Voltage sector started in April 22. 

Roberta Whitlock BTEC Level 3 Engineering

I really loved this course. The learning resources provided were great and the tutors were helpful. I am currently working in Engineering and completing this course has since helped me to gain a promotion and has certainly opened doors for me.

Richard Stephens Level 3 Engineering

The reason I chose to study with TECOL using distance learning instead of a traditional college classroom was due to having a young family and suiting my home life. By studying through distance learning, I could utilise my weekends and evenings to complete my study and assessments as the support from my tutors was also available. The course is really well delivered with the assignments being challenging but also educational at the same time helping to close any learning gaps you may have. I have completed 9 units at level 3 and I am now considering the next step of HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

James Marsh Level 3 Electrical/Electronic Engineering 

The course learning materials provided were very useful and easy to understand. The course tutors and admin staff provided prompt and excellent support when asked. This course has increased relevant technical knowledge and has really helped me in my current employment. I am very pleased with the Tecol team and I would recommend them too anyone looking to gain further technical qualifications. I have future plans to continue studying engineering with Tecol, firstly at HNC level and then HND.

Adam Fraser Level 3 Engineering

Tecol’s distance learning mode has been a great way of progressing within my field whilst still working full time. The tutoring and admin staff have always been there if any assistance has been required and I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking to try distance learning.

Edward Bradford HNC Mechanical Engineering 

Easy to follow course notes and PDF copies of books. Tutor support, when required, was prompt and easy through skype, email and tel. The HNC Engineering course has been extremely useful to me as I work in automation and I am currently looking at joining the design team at work. Now that I have completed my HNC I am hoping to move soon into our deign team.

Efthymia Theodoridou Level 3 Engineering (General)

The tutors were so helpful with everything that I needed and I am very happy with what I learned during the course because it has directly helped me with my career. The knowledge I got from the units throughout my course has helped me with my current job and when I had a recent interview with the engineering manager I was able to provide evidence from my course and he told me that he already knew TECOL and has accepted me for the new post. This course absolutely helped me gain my recent promotion and my new job means that I have no immediate plans to study further but might consider this in the future. I would like to recommend improvements to the course I studied, but I don’t have any recommendations. Happy with the outcome.

Arkadiusz Stando Level 3 Engineering 

TECOLs learning materials were great and everything that was needed was there ready for me which was just great. I’m really happy with course content and the way it has been delivered. My tutors were there to help to guide me in the right direction anytime I asked. I have been working in heavy industry all my life, so I was familiar with some topics but some were new to me.  New knowledge and skills will help me out with my progress in the future but right now I am going to progress with TECOL and undertake the HNC course in Mechanical Engineering.

Grant Denny Level 3 Engineering

I cannot speak highly enough of the support I have received from tutors Geoff and Bill as they were very supportive throughout the course when required.  I currently have a job as a technical author and required an engineering qualification to support my work. I have found the health and safety section very useful for my current role. However the Mech Principles and Applications of Mechanical Systems units will no doubt be useful as I progress in my role.
My plans in the future are to hopefully get a promotion and take on the role of lead technical author.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the help when completing this course. It really is  appreciated. I cannot think of anything that would really improve the course. Having seen online courses from other companies completed by work colleagues, they agree that the course material I received was by far the clearest and most informative information. The assessment process is simple and easy to understand. Results are turned round quickly, with clear feedback provided in the assessors response. Thank you TECOL.

Andrzej Dabal – Engineering (6 units & 9 units) 

At the moment I have completed 6 units I am now currently carrying on with an extra 3 units to make it up to the BTEC Level 3 90 Credit Diploma (9 units). After that I plan to carry on learning and start a HNC in engineering. I would like to apply for an electrical mechanical engineering position this year at my workplace and the current qualification will allow me to do this.

John Wilson – Electrical / Electronic Engineering

The learning materials for my course were excellent. When required, the tutors responded in a timely and effective manner. My course was paid for by my employer, as a help towards my current employment in commercial operations for an Engineering department. I am discussing with my Employer with regards to further education using TECOL for the next level of HNC. The Course was very useful for me, I have not participated in education for many years and I have found this a good introduction on the requirements of BTEC Engineering and coursework requirements.

Alexander Wakefield – Engineering

Absolutely excellent service provided by the tutors at TECOL. Contact was excellent and help was always there when needed. Excellent people! This will be an essential foundation for my future career path, and I thank everyone at Tecol for the ability to study towards this qualification so easily entirely online! A final thanks to Bill, Geoff and all of the admin team at Tecol for the outstanding service and constant contact when needed! An absolute credit to the education system and the course content was sublime! Thanks, Tecol – Very happy customer!

Anthony Ford  – Engineering        

Units studied here were truly relevant and covered a really good spread of things, an idea for future maybe to add a little something on types of couplings/fittings and different thread types NPT/BSP etc. Really good course and maybe tempted to take the electrical engineering course when I get myself sorted.

Matthew Tracey  – Electrical & Electronic Engineering            

Learning materials and support were great during this course. I did this course for my current job and have found this really useful.

Carl Rees-Davies – Electrical & Electronic Engineering

The support was really good, and the course was really relevant to my job. I am now completing the HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering with the TECOL team and I may then complete an HND.

Adam Barker – Engineering (Electrical/Mechanical) 

The support was always there when the tutors were asked by email/skype/tel. Always willing to help friendly tutors regularly at hand to help and even free out of scheduled hours. Some criteria I use already in my work but also some criteria I will find very useful for the future. My plans on completion of this course are employment promotion and potential further studies. Top service from all the guys at Tecol and I could not really fault them, always willing to help and be flexible and have already recommended their service to a few of my colleagues. 

Anthony Moran – BTEC Level 3 Engineering & HNC Mechanical Engineering                                             

Online studying suits my lifestyle I work shifts so I can study around work and my family commitments. Studying in modules at my pace means I am in control how I progress with online support from a tutor if needed. Learning keeps you current and benefits my employer with a more rounded employee and I achieve industry recognised BTEC qualifications that go hand in hand with my practical experience. Benefits as a student for a small fee the NUS extra card is recognised at many outlets such as Amazon Student Prime. Have completed the Level 3 Engineering course Oct 19 and moved straight to HNC which is working out well so far!
Michael Rendle – BTEC Level 3 Engineering (3 units & 6 units)

The course learning materials were very clear and well presented. Tutor support was good and clear. This course will hopefully be the starting block to get me to where I’d like to be. The course set up was effortless. Having now completed I have decided to do more units and have topped up onto the Diploma. I will hopefully move onto a HND afterwards.

Paige Carter – 6 unit Level 3 Engineering Mech/Electrical

Booklets were very informative and the course was very useful as I’m a mechanical fitter. Doing the combined mechanical/electrical course has widened my knowledge in the electrical sector of my job. The TECOL team have always been very responsive when I have asked. My plans on completion of this course are to carry on in the engineering industry and I am currently looking to complete a HNC in the future. I would recommend this to others.
