Entry Requirements
UK Requirements
Level 2 Diploma in Engineering; OR 4 GCSEs (Grade C or above) to include MathsROI Requirements
UK Level 2 Diploma in Engineering; OR 4 OLCs (Grade 05 or above) to include Maths; OR Leaving Cert Applied – Merit.Work Placement
In Previous years students were offered work placement during the summer weeks through a Sentinus programme. This was not part of the Level 3 course, but only for student benefit.
What's Next?
Further Study
This course will prepare you for entry into the Engineering industry as engineering technicians, or for entry into Higher Education to undertake Degree level studies. Areas of higher study may include: Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Electronics and Computing and Agricultural Engineering. These courses are available at various Universities including Ulster University, Queen’s University, Belfast, and at Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Another main route includes foundation degree programmes at the NWRC which allows access to the above courses at university (year 2 entry)Career Prospects
This qualification has been designed as a two-year, full-time course that meets entry requirements in its own right for learners wanting to progress to employment in engineering. Learners gain relevant skills and knowledge from studying a range of content focused on the design and manufacture of electrical/electronic and mechanical systems, for example electronic PCB design & manufacture and manufacturing CNC machining processes. Progression could be either directly to employment in Level 3 job roles or via higher apprenticeship programmes.Enquiry

I’d recommend NWRC to anyone that wants to work with children or young people. The courses are great for those who may not want to stay in school because it’s not for them.Ryan Boyle (Early Years) -
My course has opens so many doors within the Construction industry for roles in health & safety, quantity surveying, architecture and site management.Padraig Bannon (Construction)
