About this event
This project focussed CPD unit is available to any employer and their employees who will benefit from a Level 4 course in project implementation following completion of a prior Level 4 Industrial Digitalisation unit with no cost to the employer.
The overall length of the unit (including the remote tutor-led elements to support project implementation) is 2 1/2 days with 4 hours of remote tutor-led learning and an essential self-directed project including assessment over the course of 4 weeks.
This is a level 4 course.
ESP units at Level 4 have been designed to provide an understanding of emerging technologies and the deployment of these technologies in industrial/manufacturing contexts. The units have been designed to suit learners at Level 4, or those with higher level STEM qualifications seeking to upskill in emerging technologies. Those learners without a suitable STEM background at Level 3 would be advised to study the relevant Level 3 unit first.
