BTEC Engineering Units
Provide opportunities to develop a range of employability skills
Provide opportunities to develop and practise Functional Skills
Provide further opportunities to enhance and reinforce skills in English and mathematics in naturally occurring, relevant, work-related contexts
Provide opportunities to develop personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS) within an engineering context

Key Features of the next generation BTEC Firsts in Engineering
Provides a practical, real-world approach to learning
• Discovering the world of engineering and how it impacts on our world today• Communication skills to articulate and discuss new ideas or work as a team to solve problems• Health and safety in the workplace and the appropriate procedures and legislation• How mathematics and science is essential to engineering success
Designed to develop skills and knowledge needed in this growing industry, such as;
Encourages learners to present their work in a variety of ways, such as presentations, demonstrations and models/prototypes

The Diploma – 480 GLH (4 GCSE size)
Allows learners to follow pathways of specific learning within the sector - Technology, Maintenance, Manufacturing, Mechanical•A larger core to improve progression, in particular to BTEC Nationals in Engineering•A new mandatory unit, Unit 21: Introduction to Communications for Engineering, gives learners the opportunity to use and develop their communication skills to present information in engineering contexts
Designed to inspire and enthuse learners to consider a career in engineering
Developed with FE colleges in mind and includes:
Formed of 2 extra mandatory units and 240 GLH of optional specialist units
New BTEC Firsts Qualifications
We have developed 3 x 1 GCSE sized
endorsed pathways as satisfying the Principal
Learning criteria
Set alongside next generation BTEC Firsts, these new qualifications ensure a rich and varied
Engineering offer for learners at Key Stage 4
Developed with the Royal
Academy of Engineering
Endorsed ‘fixed structure’ pathways.
