The BTEC Electronic Engineering course leads to a
nationally-recognised advanced Level 3 award and makes an idea
entry to an electronic engineering career.
The course will teach you the basics about electricity and
simple circuits and take you up to more complex elements and the
use and behaviours of components such as resistors, capacitors,
diodes, and transistors.
You will study electronics circuit theory, and find out about
alternating current and magnetic and electromagnetic theory.
You will use your electronic engineering training to explore
different electronic applications, such as communications and other
digital systems.
By the completion of the BTEC Electronic Engineering course you
will have the knowledge you need to enter a range of electronic
engineering jobs at trainee level.
You don't need any previous experience or qualifications to
enrol in our BTEC Electronic Engineering course. That's because we
believe in making home study - and a rewarding future - as
accessible as possible. You should, however, have a basic
understanding of mathematics.
Once you've completed the BTEC Electronic Engineering course,
you'll hold an industry-recognised qualification that can take you
into a trainee electronic engineer role. Alternatively, you can
progress to further study and enter the industry at a higher
level.
On completion of the BTEC Electronic Engineering course, you'll
receive the BTEC Level 3 Advanced certificate in Electronic
Engineering.
Assessments are a great way of checking your progress. During
your BTEC Electronic Engineering course, you'll complete three
scenario-based assessments.
- Assessment 1: Electricity and Circuit Theory -
Short answer written paper
- Assessment 2: Inductance, Capacitance and
Solid State Devices - Short answer written paper
- Assessment 3: Electronic Applications - Short
answer written paper
Each assignment question may ask you to either write a short
answer (of around a paragraph), write a short essay (of several
paragraphs), draw a circuit diagram, draw a waveform, create a
truth table. Study the grading criteria for each assessment prior
to completion to ascertain what is required for each paper.
Generally, assessments can be sent to us online via the ICS
Student Community: it's the fastest way to receive your
results.
Because we're experts in home learning, ICS knows about and
offers all the support you need along the way.
You'll receive study materials that have been specially designed
for distance learning by experts in your chosen field.
As a BTEC Electronic Engineering student, you'll receive the
complimentary textbook: Teach Yourself Electricity and
Electronics.
You'll have access to an experienced personal tutor both online
and over the phone, ready to help you with guidance and
motivation.
You'll also be part of the ICS Online Student Community, where
you'll have access to library materials and your account
information, as well as vital links with your fellow students, with
the chance to discuss your work, ask questions and make new
friends.
