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.

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 was so much happier completing a course in something I really enjoyed, rather than studying three A-Levels in subjects that weren't going to benefit me in the future.Kyle Scott (Sport) -
I would recommend North West Regional College. It is a great place to learn, you meet new friends, and you have great craic too!Cameron Nutt
