- Location Energy Academy
More about the course
If you are looking for a rewarding career in the renewables or subsea industry, this may be the course for you.
You will explore a range of engineering topics from industry-experienced tutors, such as electrical and mechanical engineering, design principles and project skills to make sure you are ready for industry.
You will study in our specialist facilities at Newcastle College Energy Academy and have access to an electrical workshop where you will build and test circuits, including fault finding. You will also be introduced to fabrication techniques such as piping and welding using industry standard equipment.
You will enhance your knowledge through field trips to companies including Siemens, GE Oil & Gas and Caterpillar. You will also get the chance to work on live projects set by employers to give you a taste of what it is like to work in the industry.
