My Farnborough Story

I generally like fixing things physically and my Dad’s into to that type of thing as well and the RAF so have experience of it that way. Also I thought there aren’t many females in engineering and that’s why I wanted to study it. I really enjoy the ‘tech’ part of the college because we get to use the machines and welding.

I really enjoy the hands-on work we do in the workshop because I have always been more of a hands on person, fixing bicycles and things like that. We had to make an aeroplane section this year and some tools so that’s been really great.

How will I be taught?

The qualifications cover the intermediate knowledge, understanding and skills that are required by someone working in the engineering industry. It takes a hands-on approach to intermediate engineering training by providing learners with:

Knowledge and understanding of a range of engineering competencies
Information that will help them make more informed decisions about their career options
Personal skills to help them work effectively and achieve their potential

What modules are covered?

The course consists of mandatory and optional units. These units will provide the appropriate guided learning hours. This course has two external on screen exams with the remaining units being subject to internal assessment and the students creating and completing a personal logbook/portfolio of course work evidence.
