What will I study?
This online civil engineering course is tailored for those looking to specialise in civl engineering, either for a career, or for further university study.
The course is split into 6 units. Three of these units are core engineering and are common across each level 4 course.
There are then 2 specialist Civil Engineering units, plus one final optional unit of your choice (a list will be available during enrolment).
During your study you will cover the six units outlined below. You will start by studying the fundamental principles that under-pin all engineering:
Core Units
Introduction to Civil Engineering Projects – to help you to develop your understanding of civil engineering projects
Engineering Maths – to help you develop your mathematical skills to enable you to succeed with the rest of your course
Engineering Science – to give you a thorough grounding in the under-pinning scientific principles of civil engineering
Specialist Units
Civil Structural Analysis – in this unit you will study forces in members, stress in beams, buckling of struts, deflection of beams and the vibration of structures.
Construction Methods & Materials – here, you will begin to understand the many different types of materials used in civil engineering and their properties. Furthermore, you will begin to gain an understanding of the various construction methods in use covering traditional as well as contemporary methods.
+1 Optional Unit – You will have access to a range of optional units, so that you can study topics that interest you. These may even lie outside the field of civil engineering such as mechanical or electrical engineering.
To be awarded a Higher International Certificate in Civil Engineering (EduQual Level 4), you must successfully complete 120 credits at level 4. Each of the 6 units are equally worth 20 credits each.
Is it fully accredited?
Yes. All our courses are fully accredited by a UK awarding body, EduQual.
EduQual is a regulated awarding body, approved by SQA-Accreditation, and a globally-recognised national qualifications regulator in the UK. They are a full member of the Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB).
Are there any entry requirements?
All of our level 4 Higher International Certificate courses are open access courses, which means that there are no prerequisite entry requirements.
We have tailored our maths and science units to begin with foundational concepts and gradually build upon them to equip you with the necessary skills to successfully complete the course. It’s important to note that all courses are taught in English, so proficiency in understanding technical information in English is essential.
How long will it take to complete?
Typically, when learners study these engineering courses on a part-time basis, it takes them anywhere between 1 to 2 years to complete the program. However, since these courses are designed for distance learning, you have the autonomy to set your own pace and complete the coursework on your own timetable. Hence, the duration of our online engineering courses can be expedited depending on your current commitments and prior knowledge.
How am I assessed?
All of our units are assessed by 100% written assignments. There are no exams.
Tutor Support
During the duration of the course, you will receive guidance and assistance from our qualified tutors to address any concerns or issues that you may encounter. Our tutors are accomplished professionals in the field of engineering and have also amassed many years of experience in teaching.

“I successfully graduated my Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The studies was good, tutor provide much support. I recommend iLearn Engineering for distance learning Engineering studies.”
Fuad, Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering“So far, in two weeks study I have understood more content with these guys than in one year at part time university. Really good content especially in maths and makes learning a nice smooth progressive path rather than being rushed and pressured. Top notch service 👍”
Simon, Higher International Certificate in Mechanical Engineering“This program is providing me with the opportunity to finally finish my engineering degree at the most reasonable cost I’ve seen in the market to date…I highly recommend iLearn Engineering for anyone who wants to get into the field or pickup where they left off.”
