Engineering

Our Level 1/2 Technical Award in Engineering focuses on different disciplines of engineering and how they have shaped products and projects in the modern world. Pupils will study the engineering process from end to end, learning core skills such as production planning techniques, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and applied processing skills and techniques, helping to begin their journey into further study or a career in this exciting industry.

This qualification is approved for KS4 Performance Tables in 2024, 2025 and 2026. 

V Cert Technical Awards are designed to be delivered over two years. The first year of delivery is entirely dedicated to teaching and learning, with all summative assessments taking place in the final year of study.  The Engineering V Cert Technical Award is assessed by Non-Exam Assessment (60%) and Examined Assessment (40%)
