• Globally recognised Level 6 qualification awarded by ICTQual AB UK Ltd.

• Structured across three progressive years: Foundational, Intermediate, and Advanced Specialisation

• Covers 36 mandatory units worth a total of 360 credits

• Combines theoretical instruction with hands-on practical workshops and CAD-based design tasks

• Two certification routes available: formal training route and experienced-candidate RPL route

• Prepares graduates for senior engineering roles, Chartered Engineer progression, and international career opportunities

The learning outcomes of this qualification are mapped across all 36 mandatory units and span foundational engineering principles through to advanced specialisation. Upon successful completion, learners will be able to:

• Apply mathematical concepts including calculus, differential equations, and numerical techniques to model and analyse electrical and electronic systems

• Analyse and design electrical circuits, power systems, control systems, and electronic devices using industry-standard tools and computational software

• Develop and program microprocessor-based and embedded systems, integrating hardware and software for real-time control applications

• Evaluate and design renewable energy technologies, smart grid systems, and energy storage and conversion solutions

• Plan and manage electrical engineering projects, applying project management principles, technical report writing, and research methods

• Demonstrate understanding of electromagnetic compatibility, high voltage engineering, professional ethics, and sustainable engineering practices

This qualification is designed for individuals seeking advanced expertise in electrical engineering and those wishing to formalise their existing professional experience at Level 6. The course is suitable for:

• Individuals holding a Level 5 qualification in electrical engineering, electronics, or applied sciences who wish to progress to a higher-level diploma

• Practising electrical engineers and technicians seeking formal recognition of their advanced knowledge and skills

• Professionals with at least six years of verified industry experience who wish to achieve certification through the experienced-candidate route

• Graduates with A-levels or equivalent qualifications in Mathematics or Physics looking to enter advanced electrical engineering study

• Individuals aiming to progress into senior roles such as Electrical Engineer, Power Systems Engineer, Control Systems Engineer, or Project Manager

• International learners seeking a globally recognised credential to expand career opportunities across multiple industries and countries

Candidates must meet the following entry requirements before enrolling in the ICTQual Level 6 Diploma in Electrical Engineering. Meeting these requirements ensures learners are adequately prepared for the advanced technical and theoretical content of the programme.

• Learners must be at least 16 years of age

• A minimum Level 5 qualification (or equivalent) in a related field such as electrical engineering, electronics, or applied sciences — or A-levels/equivalent qualifications in Mathematics, Physics, or relevant subjects

• Previous foundational knowledge or experience in engineering or electrical concepts is recommended; preparatory courses may be available for those without formal experience

• Non-native English speakers must provide proof of English language proficiency to ensure successful engagement with course material and assessments

The ICTQual Level 6 Diploma in Electrical Engineering (360 Credits) consists of 36 mandatory assessments, one per unit. All assessments must be passed to achieve the qualification. Assessments are designed to evaluate learners' comprehension of course material and their ability to apply concepts in practical situations.

• Assignment-based assessments aligned to the learning outcomes of each of the 36 mandatory units

• Theoretical assessments testing knowledge and understanding of electrical engineering principles, systems, and standards

• Practical and project-based tasks demonstrating hands-on application of skills in design, analysis, and implementation

• Capstone Project (Year 3) requiring learners to design and implement a comprehensive engineering project, demonstrating project management, teamwork, and problem-solving competencies

Graduates of the ICTQual Level 6 Diploma in Electrical Engineering are well-positioned to pursue a wide range of career and further academic opportunities. The qualification opens doors to professional roles, further certifications, entrepreneurial ventures, and international employment.

• Employment as Electrical Engineer, Power Systems Engineer, Control Systems Engineer, Electronics Engineer, Project Manager, or Renewable Energy Specialist across sectors including energy, manufacturing, telecommunications, and construction

• Progression towards Chartered Engineer (CEng) status through institutions such as the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) or the Engineering Council, following acquisition of relevant work experience

• Pursuit of further professional certifications including Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST) or Project Management Professional (PMP)

• Establishment of an electrical engineering consultancy, renewable energy startup, or technology innovation enterprise

• Opportunities with global engineering firms such as Siemens, GE, ABB, and Schneider Electric, or roles on large-scale international energy infrastructure projects

• Further academic study at Level 7 or higher in Electrical Engineering, Energy Systems, or related disciplines
