City & Guilds 2850-33 L3 Diploma in Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Yr 1 Location Start Date Day Time Fees Duration Warwick, Trident Sep-2016 Various 09:00 - 16:15 £1,287.00 2Year(s) What will I study?

For those wishing to gain the mixture of skill, knowledge and experience for a successful career in Principles of Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance (Electrical/Mechanical).

What modules are covered?

Certification is met by successful completion of all six units:

301 Work effectively and safely in an Engineering environment

Unit Aim

This unit is concerned with the requirements that are essential to enable engineering activities to be carried out safely and effectively.  It includes dealing with statutory and organisational requirements in accordance with approved regulations, codes of practice and procedures. It covers responsibilities relating to accident reporting and the identification of hazards and risks.

Learning outcomes

There are four learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will:

1. Understand compliance with statutory health and safety regulations and organisational requirements

2. Understand compliance with statutory environmental regulations and organisational requirements

3. Know how to implement accident and emergency procedures

4. Understand safe working practices and procedures.

302 Engineering Principles and Practice

Unit Aim

This unit is concerned with those engineering principles that enhance the performance of engineering operations. This includes the extraction, interpretation and use of a range of technical information sources. It includes the use of basic calculations and engineering science that enables the candidate to better understand the behaviour and properties of engineering materials in order that appropriate materials may be selected to satisfy specifications. The identification and application of quality control measures that are relevant to engineering activities are also covered.

Learning outcomes

There are four learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will:

1. Know how to interpret engineering information

2. Know how to differentiate between common engineering materials

3. Know how to perform engineering calculations

4. Understand quality control in engineering

306 Principles of engineering maintenance, installation and commissioning

Unit aim

This unit enables the candidate to understand the underlying principles that apply to all commonly used processes and elements that are essential to most maintenance, installation and commissioning activities. It takes into account the fact that some industries and organisations employ engineering personnel that perform both of these activities, whereas others, particularly specialist contractors for installation and commissioning, may only cover a limited range. The content of this unit can be applicable to both situations as it is considered essential for all candidates to have a wide range of engineering knowledge and experience. It covers the maintenance, installation and commissioning requirements, including equipment and lubrication that are commonly associated with the maintenance, installation and commissioning of plant and machinery and the ways in which they are used or applied. Candidates are not expected to have an in-depth understanding of all maintenance and installation and commissioning strategies, but they should become familiar with the events, terminology and practices that they will need as part of their normal work.

Learning outcomes

There are four learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will:

1. Understand how to plan maintenance, installation and commissioning activities

2. Know who to install and commission instruments and components

3. Understand how to evaluate methods to overcome friction and corrosion

4. Know how to evaluate connection methods

320 Maintenance of hydraulic systems

Unit aim

This unit enables the candidate to develop the skills and the underlying process technology required for the maintenance and/or installation requirements of hydraulic power transmission systems. It involves identifying hydraulic components and their symbols and the interpretation of circuit diagrams. It also covers the procedures and techniques involved with isolating systems safely, the ability to install or rebuild circuits from given information, removing and replacing components in a circuit and restoring a system back to a full working condition it also covers causes of common faults in hydraulic systems. When training rigs are used then a method of safely applying reasonable loads to fully test the operation of a circuit must be provided i.e. not simply that the specified actuator movements are obtained.

Learning outcomes

There are four learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will be able to:

1. Understand the function of hydraulic systems

2. Be able to prepare for maintenance of hydraulic systems

3. Be able to perform inspections and maintenance tasks

4. Be able to reinstate hydraulic systems

321 Maintenance of pneumatic systems

Unit aim

This unit enables the candidate to develop the skills and the underlying process technology required for the maintenance and/or installation requirements of pneumatic power transmission systems. It involves identifying pneumatic components and their symbols and the interpretation of circuit diagrams. It also covers the procedures and techniques involved with isolating systems safely, the ability to install or rebuild circuits from given information, removing and replacing components in a circuit and restoring a system back to a full working condition and causes of common faults in pneumatic systems. When training rigs are used then a method of safely applying reasonable loads to fully test the operation of a circuit must be provided i.e. not simply that the specified actuator movements are obtained.

328 Maintenance of electrical equipment and systems

Unit aim

The unit is concerned with basic electrical theory and electrical components associated with the maintenance of electrical equipment. The candidate will understand the operation necessary for the planning and carrying out of maintenance in an industrial and commercial environment.

Learning outcomes

There are four learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will:

1. Understand the components and features of electrical systems

2. Be able to plan and prepare for the maintenance operation

3. Be able to carry out monitoring and inspection of maintenance work

4. Be able to re-commission the system and restore the work area

The 24+ Advanced Learning Loan

If you are 24 or over at start of this course, you can apply for a new loan to cover the course fees. There are no repayments until the course is completed and you are earning £21000 or more. Therefore if you earn up to £21000 a year there’s nothing to pay back. If you earn £22000 a year your loan repayments would be as little as £7 per month. Call us for more information.
