This principle vocational award for engineering is intended to cater for those seeking a qualification in production and maintenance engineering. The qualification structure allows for awards in a range of pathways including fabrication, welding, mechanical manufacturing, materials processing, installation commissioning and maintenance and electrical maintenance. There are a wide range of optional units allowing flexibility in provision.

The award follows on from the level 2 certificate in applying engineering principles and supports the new NVQs in Engineering. It also forms part of the technical certificate requirements for Modern Apprenticeships in Engineering.

Please note: The password for the 2800 assignment documentation can be found on the Walled Garden on each qualification page.
