What is the Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Mechanical)?
The Level 3 Diploma Engineering Mechanical is a staple in terms of knowledge. It is broadly equivalent to 2 A’ Levels and the old QCF BTEC National Diploma.
The Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering has been designed to meet the requirements of the Foundation phase of many of the Trailblazer standards in Engineering, including the Mechatronics Maintenance Technician. It is for learners, providers and employers who wish to complete more knowledge units in order to progress to an Extended Diploma in the Development Phase. It enables learners to complete additional optional units to allow for greater specialism in their chosen areas.
In addition this Mechanical pathway leads to a seperate certification with those words in the tile, as opposed to without which is General or there is Electrical/Electronic.
UCAS
The Diploma Engineering Mechanical is set at level 3 and therefore has an equivalency to A’ Levels. To that end it also acquires UCAS points based on the grade achieved which can be used to gain entry to University.
