What will I study?
Isenijo Bryan Foundation Learning Electrical Installation
Isenijo wanted to follow in his Dad’s footsteps and become an electrician. “I have always had an interest in my Dad’s work and I figured this course would give me a basic understanding of electrical installation – that was what I needed and I was right. It was very hands-on and practical. We learnt about rewiring different types of wire and Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs). I thought I had a bit of knowledge about electrical installation but I found there was so much I needed to learn. Even the Health & Safety aspects were interesting and you don’t realise how important they are either. You need to know how to protect yourself on the job!”
Isenijo liked all elements of the course but was not afraid to ask for help when things got tough. “The teachers are very helpful if you ever get stuck. They have all worked as electricians too so I knew I could trust what they were saying. We had to complete a number of different assignments so the course is quite varied.
“I am now on the Level 2 programme and will progress on to Level 3 after that before getting a job. Who knows, I might like to start my own business one day but there’s a lot to learn before that. Let’s see what happens.”
This course is ideal if you have an interest in the technical aspects of electronics and wish to gain a BTEC National Extended Diploma technical qualification in Electronics/Electrical. It comprises a range of practical and theoretical activities, and you will progress to work on a major project. The Extended Diploma consists of five mandatory units plus optional units that provide for a combined total of 18 units. Each year, you will study nine units.
Mandatory core units include:
• Health and Safety in the Engineering Workplace • Communications for Engineering Technicians • Engineering Project (two unit value) • Mathematics for Engineering Technicians • Electrical and Electronic Principles.
You’ll also study 12 specialist Electrical/Electronic Engineering units from a wide range of related subject areas. To help with the theory content, extra lessons in the form of GCSE Maths and English, for example, may be available to give you further support.
What can I do next?
You may choose to seek employment or follow an Advanced Apprenticeship. Alternatively you may decide to enter Higher Education or a Foundation Degree, HND or other professional development programme. You may want to extend the specialist nature of the subjects you have already studied on the Extended Diploma in another field of study.
