Here you’ll find support for teaching and studying BTEC Nationals in Aeronautical Engineering. These vocational qualifications help level 3 students develop the practical knowledge, skills and understanding they need to prepare for their chosen career.
Units offered include theory of flight, principles and applications of aircraft mechanical science, aircraft maintenance practices, and human factors in aircraft engineering.
The Technical Baccalaureate performance measure is a new government initiative designed to offer a high-quality alternative to A levels for young people aged between 16-19 with aspirations to a technical career. It is ideal for young learners who are interested in occupations that require significant theory and technical knowledge and application.
Join the BTEC Nationals international consultation
These new courses are not currently available to international centres.
We’re asking for your feedback to ensure we provide new level 3 BTEC courses which meet your needs and those of your learners.
Once you sign up to the consultation group, we’ll get in touch and ask for your feedback on what features and support you need in your BTEC Nationals in the future.
This qualification is approved by the Engineering Council as contributing to the requirements for professional registration as an Engineering Technician (EngTech). Learners who wish to gain EngTech registration must undergo a Professional Review by their chosen Professional Engineering Institution, where their competence and commitment is assessed.

As our specifications explain, permission will only be granted to add centre or locally devised units to BTEC Nationals in very exceptional circumstances.
This is because we must work within QCF regulations when making any amendments to these qualifications. For example, we must ensure that we don't jeopardise or compromise the original structures and focus, or create duplication and overlap. For these reasons, applying to add centre or locally devised units is a long and complex process which may not be successful.
Please remember that under no circumstances should you start delivering a submitted locally devised unit without approval. To do so could, unfortunately, jeopardise your students' achievements.
BTEC National qualifications provide specialist, work-related learning across a range of vocational sectors. They give you the knowledge, understanding and skills you need to prepare for employment, develop in your chosen career, or progress to further or higher education.
