  • Learners will gain knowledge of learning styles and preferences, the benefits of engaging in learning, understanding and using information and planning managing work.
    The unit will provide learners with an opportunity to:
    • Gain understand of how to study successfully
• Physics Core (PC1)
  • Section 1: mechanics
  • Section 2: waves
• Physics Core PC16(2)
  • Section 1: materials, energy and lights
  • Section 2: DC electric circuits
• Key Mathematic Skills KMS16(1)
  • Section 1: geometry and trigonometry
  • Section 2: differentiation, integration and numerical methods
• Key Mathematics Skills KMS16(2)
  • Section 1: Geometry and Trigonometry
  • Section 2: Differentiation, Integration and Numerical Methods
• Computing C16
  • In the computing part, learners will learn and understand of computer systems: describe components of different computer systems, analyse networking infrastructures, assess the function of components within a chosen computer system, evaluate peripheral devices to meet different purposes

• Suitable for learners who are typically aged 18 and above.
• Completed 12 years of schooling with good grades including minimum pass in mathematics. Or other equivalent qualifications at level 2 or relevant field experience will be considered whether they provide the necessary foundations to undertake the programme.
• CEFR Level B1 English Language qualification in speaking, listening, reading and writing (approved in the UKVI SELT provider List. For more information please visit https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-applying-for-uk-visa-approved-english-language-tests)
