Join us at our Adult Learning Open Evening to discover our higher education and part-time courses.
A chartered engineer can earn over £60,000 in their first year of employment and our courses will help you progress to university to become chartered. Our courses are tailor-made to meet the needs of local employers, who also provide you with industry-standard projects to undertake alongside your classroom studies. Our Engineering department promotes the highest standards of work, and is one of very few engineering training facilities approved by three professional engineering institutions: Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Institute of Measurement and Control, and the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
Career Options
Facilities
Having recently had a £50,000 investment in new equipment, our workshops contain industry-standard equipment including CAD and CAM machinery, programmable logic controllers, instrumentation and control software and hardware, and a 3D printer.
Take a 360 tour of our engineering workshop.
In partnership with AccessAble, you can find accessibility information about our engineering workshops here.

Industry Links
Our courses are sponsored by Middlesex Aerospace, Gillette, and West Berkshire Training Consortium (WBTC). As part of your course you will enjoy regular trips to large engineering employers such as Inductotherm and the National Grid.
You will also visit Lasham Airfield to take part in a gliding project, compete in a Rotary technology tournament and attend a STEM event at Thorpe Park. Previous students have worked with Lasham Gliding Centre to build a trailer for their glider.
Our course sponsors ensure students have the opportunity to progress into employment with them, usually via apprenticeships. Students who successfully complete our HND course may also have direct entry onto the third year of the BA Engineering degree at a prestigious local university
