The Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Technical Knowledge) has been designed to meet the minimum requirements of the Development phase of many of the Trailblazer standards in Engineering. It covers a broad range fo units covering mechanical, electrical and electronic disciplines enabling a firm understanding in the key engineering fields. The achievement of this qualification is part of the gateway process towards End-Point Assessment and contributes to learners achieving their Apprenticeship Standard.
-
Overview
This nationally recognised Level 3 qualification helps learners develop a range of positive attitudes and professional attributes that support successful performance in the manufacturing engineering work environment. Some of the units studied include communication for engineering technicians, mathematics for engineering technicians, health and safety in the engineering workplace.
Alongside gaining knowledge, in areas such as calculus, engineering drawing, learners also develop a range of positive attitudes and professional attributes that support successful performance in the manufacturing engineering work environment.
