Engineering

Demand for engineers is predicted to grow faster than other occupations and we are committed to helping you gain the skills and knowledge to secure a career in this industry. 

With demand growing and a rise of vacancies for ‘green engineering’ roles in the UK, which has increased by more than half over the last five years according to a study by the Engineering Council, we can provide you with the right training to help you progress, from teachers who have worked in the industry.

Engineering is taught using a wide range of equipment and software to ensure the student is immersed in the technology which will become familiar when they move on into employment. We offer mechanical and electrical engineering and our students have a high success rate in progressing to university or an apprenticeship.

ECITB Level 3 Scholarship in Engineering Design and Draughting

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) has been working in partnership with Richmond upon Thames College to create a course designed for aspiring engineers that wish to pursue a career within the Engineering Construction Industry (ECI).

As a result of this collaboration, we’re pleased to introduce our new ECITB Level 3 Scholarship in Engineering Design and Draughting course. As this is a scholarship course, each student will receive a bursary of £100 per week during term time, which is paid monthly.

The course will provide students with the opportunity to enhance a range of skills, personal qualities and attributes which are essential to a career in the engineering sector. Find out more information about the course, entry requirements and other details on the course information page.
