Engineering Pathways 

Within the level 2 course there are two different pathways that you can take to achieve the 7 units that make up the diploma. In line with the new T-level qualification, your optional units will be determined half way through the year based on your knowledge and overall career goals.

This pathway is best suited for students who aim to gain employment at an engineering business, be it through an apprenticeship or through a full time position. The units that you will be studying exclusively on the craft pathway are detailed below.

• EOK2/008—Manual Welding Techniques 
• EOK2/019 – Manual Turning Techniques 

Technical Pathway Units:

This pathway is best suited for students with a higher technical ability, and for those who wish to study T-levels or a higher level qualification further down the road. The bespoke units that are taught on the technical pathway are detailed below.  

• EOK2/003—Engineering Maths and Science Principles 
• EOK2/004 – Electrical& Electronic Principles

Learning will be delivered via lectures in the classroom and practical sessions in the workshop. Students will also take part in tutorials and E-Learning sessions, as well as independent study as required. We have outside speakers visit CECAMM to give special lectures on occasion to which all students will be invited. 

This course is an EAL course which comprises of both written and practical elements, and will have online based, computer exams throughout the year. The course is a year long, starting in September and finishing in July the following year.
