Engineering, Manufacturing and Automotive

Our engineering facilities give you the chance to train with the same tools and machinery used in the industry.

Using these tools will give you confidence when stepping into a professional workshop space.

Our fully-equipped workshops are where you can carry out practical experiments and apply your theoretical knowledge.

Automation is transforming the engineering industry, and our KUKA robotics equipment puts you at the centre of it.

By working with advanced robotic systems, you’ll gain insight into one of the fastest-growing areas of modern engineering while developing valuable practical skills.

We work closely with industry leaders including Everon, KUKA and MJAllen.

Their representatives frequently visit the College to deliver workshops ensuring
you stay up-to-date with the latest
industry developments.

Our students recently completed a CAD project with Everon.

Their brief was to design and build a security bracket to keep important alarms systems in a residential home safe.

Competitions give you the chance to put your skills into practice, work as part of a team and tackle challenges.

One of the highlights of the year is the annual Inter-College Soapbox Derby, where students design and build their own go-kart before competing against teams from across Kent.

Our Level 2 students recently raced to victory, showcasing their creativity, technical skills and teamwork.

You will take part in social action projects throughout the year.

Students lead of a variety of refurbishment projects as a way to give back to the local community.
