Overview

The Engineering Knowledge Management level Prep (Motor) course at the college replaces the Chief/Second Engineer (Unlimited) EKs course.

This course will assist you in preparing for MCA's Professional Management Level Engineer Reg.III/2 Unlimited written examinations.

The course will run for seven weeks Monday - Thursday with Fridays used to catch up for example after a bank holiday.

This year we're offering the course on campus or online.
