The Pearson BTEC Level 1 Certificate in Engineering are designed around practical skills and tasks that place an emphasis on learners demonstrating what they can do rather than what they know in theory. The qualifications give learners the opportunity to acquire and develop generic, transferable and sector-specific skills in order to complete tasks and demonstrate a level of achievement that enables them to progress to further learning. This course offers a basic introduction to the engineering sector.
The mode of delivery and assessment in the units is designed to build awareness of a sector and
the skills required to work in it. Learners will be given contexts and scenarios to help them develop
skills and to acquire knowledge through application. Learners will not develop all the knowledge and
skills needed to enter the labour market in a given sector but will develop pre-employability skills
and contextualised knowledge to allow them to progress to further learning and training and,
ultimately, to become successful in their chosen sector.
The Unit A2: Developing a Personal Progression Plan that enables learners to consider their next steps in learning.
Entry requirements
English: Grade 3, Maths: Grade 3, and any other STEM subject: Grade 2 or above.
Future career and study opportunities
These qualifications prepare learners for further learning at a higher level in engineering. The development of transferable skills means that learners can also choose a study programme from alternative sectors.
