Key Features of the next generation
BTEC Firsts in Engineering
Provides a practical, real-world approach to learning
Designed to develop skills and knowledge needed in this growing
industry, such as;
• Discovering the world of engineering and how it impacts on our world today
• Communication skills to articulate and discuss new ideas or work as a team to
solve problems
• Health and safety in the workplace and the appropriate procedures and
legislation
• How mathematics and science is essential to engineering success
Encourages learners to present their work in a variety of ways,
such as presentations, demonstrations and models/prototypes

The Diploma – 480 GLH (4 GCSE size)
Allows learners to follow pathways of specific learning within the sector Technology, Maintenance, Manufacturing, Mechanical
Designed to inspire and enthuse learners to consider a career in engineering
Developed with FE colleges in mind and includes:
•A larger core to improve progression, in particular to BTEC Nationals in
Engineering
•A new mandatory unit, Unit 21: Introduction to Communications for
Engineering, gives learners the opportunity to use and develop their
communication skills to present information in engineering contexts
Formed of 2 extra mandatory units and 240 GLH of optional specialist units
New BTEC Firsts Qualifications
We have developed 3 x
1 GCSE sized endorsed
pathways as satisfying
the Principal Learning
criteria
Set alongside next
generation BTEC Firsts,
these new qualifications
ensure a rich and varied
Engineering offer for
learners at Key Stage 4
Developed with the
Royal Academy of
Engineering
Endorsed ‘fixed
structure’ pathways.
