13MMA Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr G. Stockwell.
Entry CriteriaEntry follows the Mechanical Engineering pathway through level one and two.
This is a limited entry course.
Limited Entry Courses: While Westlake endevours to provide all students with their first choices, in some courses there are limits for specialist staffing and/or rooming and equipment reasons. When student numbers exceed these limits students places will be determined by ballot. When students have selected more than one limited entry course, we will aim to place students in at least one of these courses. Students who have taken the subject in the previous year will have priority entry.
Level 3 Mechanical Engineering
This course focuses on a selection of the foundation skills that are required for the Level 3 Mechanical Engineering and Related Trades Qualification. The unit standards gained may be used as the first stage of an apprenticeship. The course is particularly relevant for people wishing to pursue careers in general engineering, machining, toolmaking, fitting, air conditioning, engineering maintenance, engineering fabrication, and marine engineering.
Competenz the Industry Training Organisation (ITO) who manage the qualifications are currently reviewing their unit standards as part of a wider national review so the standards listed may change but the course content will be very similar.
