Engineering STEM in the classroom

Our Engineering STEM in the Classroom course was delivered across Ireland this year in partnership with Engineers Ireland. It focuses on teachers learning more about engineers, engineering and career paths so they are better informed to advise their pupils and learners. The course features a combination of guided and self-guided study over 12 hours.

Engineering a Career

In 2024, we also launched Engineering a Career with support from Ford Philanthropy, a short course perfect for school career leads and guidance teachers. It highlights opportunities for cross-subject interests leading to amazing careers in engineering – meaning that pupils who show aptitudes for engineering in any subject can be encouraged to look at that career path. This course can be completed in as little as 15 hours which equates to 1 hour per week. After a successful pilot, this course is now available with funded bursaries for the 2024/2025 academic year thanks to support from Ford Philanthropy and Royal Air Force Charitable Trust.

Engineering Your Curriculum PGCert, endorsed by Education Scotland, comprises of 16 hours guided learning over a recommended 8-week period.
