Purpose of the Pearson BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Motorsport) (Development Technical Knowledge) - to be delivered at Myerscough College over 1 year for existing students:

The Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Motorsport) has been designed to meet the needs of learners who wish to acquire specialist skills and knowledge in the motorsport area. Learners complete a mix of more general engineering units alongside specialist motorsport units, focusing on areas such as vehicle petrol injection systems and vehicle electronic ignition systems.

Purpose of the Pearson BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Motorsport) (Development Technical Knowledge) – to be delivered over 2 years:

The Level 3 Extended Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Motorsport) has been designed for learners, providers or employers who wish to complete a larger size qualification as part of their on-programme delivery and assessment activity, or as part of a standalone programme of study. The larger size will enable learners to select a greater number of optional units in their specialist areas as required by their employers and will also enable easier progression to higher education.
