Course Overview

The Level 5 Diploma in Electrical & Electronics Engineering develops advanced technical knowledge, practical competence and supervisory skills required for modern engineering environments. Learners study electrical engineering principles, electronic systems, industrial automation, communications, instrumentation, engineering mathematics, control systems, circuit analysis and contemporary engineering technologies used across commercial, industrial and manufacturing sectors.

CPI's professional pathway is designed for working adults who already possess relevant technical knowledge, workplace competence or engineering experience but may not hold formal qualifications at the required level. Delivery combines instructor-led teaching, practical laboratory activities, workplace-based learning, engineering projects and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), enabling learners to build on existing experience while developing the competencies expected of modern engineering professionals.

Modules

The programme comprises five qualification units. Four common workplace units develop the professional knowledge required across all engineering disciplines, while the fifth unit provides the specialist technical competence in Electronics Engineering and Electronics Engineering.

• Building Relationships in a Workplace Setting
• Operations Management in a Workplace Setting
• Supply Chain Management in a Workplace Setting
• Maintain Systems and Processes for Health, Safety, Welfare and Environmental Protection in an Engineering Environment
• Electronics Engineering and Electronics Engineering (Core)

Core Technical Unit

Electrical & Electronics Engineering is the core technical component of the qualification. It accounts for the majority of the programme and develops the advanced knowledge, practical laboratory skills and engineering competence required for professional practice across electrical, electronic, industrial and manufacturing environments.

For structured delivery, CPI has expanded this core component into ten integrated technical modules, allowing learners to progressively develop theoretical understanding alongside extensive practical laboratory experience and workplace application.

3. Analogue and Digital Electronics
   Diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers, oscillators, filters, logic systems, counters, registers, analogue-to-digital converters and digital-to-analogue converters.
4. Engineering Programming and Simulation
   C and C++ programming, structured problem-solving, database concepts, engineering software, simulation and computer-based testing.
5. Microcontrollers and ARM Systems
   PIC and ARM architecture, GPIO, timers, interrupts, memory, assembly language, embedded C, UART, SPI, I2C and PWM.
6. Engineering Control Systems
   Control systems, sensors, actuators, motors, control logic, industrial interfaces, system integration, testing and commissioning.
7. Industrial Automation, PLC and PCB Design
   Industrial electronics, PLC programming, ladder logic, relays, control systems, printed circuit board design and fabrication.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) enables applicants to receive formal recognition for relevant knowledge and competence acquired through employment, previous study, professional training, apprenticeships or substantial engineering experience.

Following an assessment of evidence against the qualification requirements, eligible learners may receive an individual learning plan and, where appropriate, complete the qualification in a shorter period.

Entry Requirements

Admission is intended primarily for applicants who can demonstrate relevant technical qualifications, workplace experience or existing competence in electrical, electronics or related engineering disciplines.
Applicants seeking entry to the Accelerated Professional Pathway or through Recognition of Prior Learning may be required to complete an initial assessment, technical interview or portfolio review.

Progression

Graduates may progress into careers or further study in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, industrial automation, manufacturing, electrical maintenance, instrumentation, process control, renewable energy, telecommunications, industrial operations, building services engineering, engineering supervision and technical management.

Delivery Method

Related theory, laboratory practice, engineering workshops, industrial applications, practical projects and workplace-based assessments are integrated throughout the programme. Delivery combines live online instruction, face-to-face practical sessions, guided independent study, engineering laboratories and work-based learning.

Assessment include practical activities, work-based projects, written work and workplace verified evidence. There are no exams.
