Course Description

Students will build and investigate electronic circuits which are used in modern robotics and instrumentation applications. They will study computer programming and implement these circuits in real applications. The P.C is a fundamental element in many automation processes. Students study P.C construction, installation and maintenance and are prepared for the internationally recognized compuTIA A+ award.

• Robotics and Instrumentation
• Analogue Electronics
• Digital Electronics
• Computer Programming
• Computer Systems Maintenance
(CompTIA A+)
• Word Processing/Maths
• Communications
• Work Experience

Field Service Engineering Opportunities

This course is suitable for students who wish to follow a career in the area of automation and instrumentation. It is also suitable for those who wish to apply for apprenticeships in the areas of auto or instrumentation electricians.

Candidates who are successful in year one may apply for entry to the Advanced Certificate (CELTX). This course is recognized, through the links scheme as a path to many engineering courses at university level..

Students who successfully complete this course will achieve a FETAC Level 5 Award in Microelectronics and Computing (CELTX).
