Foundation Degrees

Are intermediate level higher education qualifications

Integrate academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers, HE and FE

Offer a new route into and through HE.Intended to reduce the barriers to

learning.

Vocational qualifications

Offer recognition of relevant prior learning and experience (APL - APEL)

Distinctive because they require the active involvement of employers & employer bodies in their:Design

Implementation

Review

Foundation Degrees

Aircraft EngineeringProvides very much more because the

FD is:based on EASA Pt66 syllabusEASA Pt147 approved under KLM’s and

CoBC’s approvals

Gives students the opportunity toGain an internationally recognised

vocational qualification - Pt66 LicenceReduces practical experience requirements

from 5 to 2 years

How are EASA Part 66 category B and C Licences obtained?
