Engineering & Manufacturing

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

Qualified and highly skilled technicians are increasingly in demand in this exciting and rewarding industry. Our Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Centre (HAMEC) opened in March 2017, and is focused on the key engineering areas of advanced manufacturing engineering. If you’re looking for real-life experience and the opportunity to progress to work or further study then join the Engineering team. 

WHAT WILL I DO?

Students can train for the advanced manufacturing sector. You will learn how things work and how to keep them working, using diagnostics and fault finding procedures, giving you a broad understanding of the huge possibilities within the engineering industry. Our strong links with employers such as BTL Precision, Gratnells and London Stansted Airport means students will benefit from their vast experience.

WHAT CAN I DO NEXT?

You can either progress onto further or higher education or apply for an Apprenticeship in the advanced manufacturing or industry. HAMEC offers a Higher Apprenticeship in Engineering and a Higher National Certificate/Diploma, both based at our Harlow campus.
