  • Campus

    Lincoln Campus

  • Start Date

    September 2027

  • Duration

    1 Year (Full-time)

This nationally recognised qualification is suitable for those currently working in the electrical/electronic engineering profession or those seeking employment.

Highly regarded by local employers, this vocational qualification can offer students practical experience in the typical business tasks and requirements of engineering
professionals and the underpinning academic knowledge.

Students ‘learn by doing’ which helps to maintain our high success rate for student employability, and can complement their ability to find solutions to a range of engineering problems using developed technology.

This means that students can apply their skills to a broad range of industrial areas, such as design, development, manufacturing, testing, maintenance and operation of electrical or electronic equipment.

This course is a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ). HTQs are technical qualifications that have been developed by employers and awarding bodies so students can develop the skills that employers want.

The course is part of Lincolnshire Institute of Technology (IoT). The IoT specialises in delivering high quality technical education across industries with a focus on Engineering, Digital, Automotive, Manufacturing, and Construction subjects, opening up opportunities for students to gain industry-relevant skills to overcome some of the key challenges facing the technical industries.
