Joshua Forrest, a Year 11 Diploma in Engineering learner and course representative from Chorley & South Ribble consortium, reports on his experience of the Diploma so far:
"One year, four units and two exams later, the Diploma is still going strong. With multiple projects running and the deadline coming close, all of us are working hard and finding it more enjoyable than ever.
"From Year 10 to Year 11 the Diploma has proved to be a great success and has been going well. The final year of the Diploma has become quite intense with a lot of work to do and little time to do it in. Every student is being pushed to their limit. The Greenpower car project is coming to completion and we all have to think about what to do next, whether to try and get an Apprenticeship or continue in education and go to college and start the Higher Diploma at Level 3.
"With a number of different trips arranged, three more units to be marked and our final exam to take, the Level 2 Diploma is coming to a close. All of the skills learnt from practical to design have been put to good use, and all of the pupils have enjoyed every moment of it - from the trips to London to the racing of the Greenpower car. The Diploma will hopefully stand us in good stead in a career in engineering."
