Engineering & Manufacturing Part-Time Courses

Engineering is the beating heart of global industry. It’s a fast-paced, ever-evolving and fascinating sector, and can be found in everything we use, everything we see, and everywhere we go. Engineers shape the world around us by designing and creating objects, developing systems, and solving problems for the benefit of society.

From the kettle you use to make your morning tea, to the mobile phone you use to check Facebook, to the car you use to drive to the shops, to the machines used to package your favourite cereal; none of those things would exist without the skills and expertise of engineers. That’s why the world needs an engineering and manufacturing workforce that is qualified, well-trained, passionate, and dedicated; and Petroc is here to provide you with the platform to launch your career to new heights.
