City Boys' VLE

Diploma in Engineering

Students have the opportunity to study for either the Foundation or Higher Engineering Diploma. As the Lead school for the Diploma we co-ordinate both Highbury College and PETA in Havant to help deliver this exciting new qualification.

The Diploma combines both academic and practical learning within an engineering environment. Students will be expected to write engineering reports, research papers and design portfolios as well as produce a number of engineered products.

Units include learning about the Engineered World which involves a variety of visits to different engineering sectors such as Fawley Power Station, BAE Systems and HMS Sultan.

There is also a maintenance unit which allows students to learn about Bike Maintenance and an Enterprise unit for students to design and create the next best selling invention to be featured on Dragons Den!

The Higher Diploma is equivalent to 7 GCSE’s A* to C grade and involves students being away from their normal place of study for 1 and ½ days.

This qualification also includes Functional skills English, Maths and ICT, a Personal Project and 10 days work experience. Further details of the Diploma can be found on the City Boys website.
