UK Accredited Online Engineering College

Flexible online engineering courses and qualifications

Engineering Diplomas

Credits: 40 | Level 4/5

We offer a suite of ‘short course’ qualifications which have been developed in a wide range of general and specialist engineering and technology areas. If you are short on time, or are simply looking to try out some courses before committing to our 120/240 qualifications, these 40 credit Engineering Diplomas are ideal.

Ideal for CPD 

The 40 credit Engineering Diplomas from iLearn Engineering® are also suitable for continuing professional development (CPD) for technicians and engineers working in a wide range of engineering disciplines.

Disciplines

A large suite of short 40 credit Diplomas in Engineering are available from iLearn Engineering® in all the major engineering disciplines such as Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic, Manufacturing, Aerospace, Civil, Computer or as a non-specific General Engineering qualification.

Progression and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

The 40 credit Engineering Diplomas can be transferred as recognised prior learning (RPL) against the units in either a Higher International Certificate or Higher International Diploma . Therefore, they provide an ideal opportunity to try out a smaller qualification before starting a longer qualification.

Accredited Diplomas in Engineering to Improve Employability

As a stand alone qualification these accredited Engineering Diplomas will demonstrate your knowledge in a specific area of engineering and technology. Like all our engineering and technology qualifications they are fully accredited by a UK awarding body, and as such can enhance your CV and employability.

You can see a full listing of all our 40 credit diplomas on our website here.
