The AME qualification is needed for the Engineering Technician Standard.

What is the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Level 3 Specialist Qualification?

 

The Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Level 3 is a staple in terms of engineering knowledge. It is a BTEC Specialist qualification, similar to the BTEC Nationals 2010 (QCF). It is available in different sizes, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 units. There are different pathways, such as Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic or Motorsport.

What’s included in the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Qualification?

  • Each unit can be delivered individually, contact us for more information.
  • Each unit is graded at Pass, Merit or Distinction.
  • Level 3 is broadly equivalent to A’ Levels
  • Mechanical, Electrical pathways available

UCAS

Each pathway and size will have different tariff points available for the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering course, depending on the grade achieved. As such, Grades available are Pass, Merit, Distinction.

Progression Opportunities after completing the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Qualification

This is a linear programme and students can progress from the Foundation Award to the Award, then to the Certificate and on to the Diploma.

As such, students who gain enough UCAS tariff points will be able to apply to the HNC Engineering (RQF).
