Upon successful completion of the Engineering course, work experience, project and achievement of grade 4 or above in English and Mathematics you would move on to an Engineering T level. Progression into Apprenticeships is also possible.


I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.
