We’ve refreshed and enhanced the specification content while keeping it as similar to the current qualification as possible. It includes up-to-date, relevant material,about modern engineering technologies, materials and processes, and established engineering practices.

Content is more detailed and clearly defined, with explicit parameters to support and guide you and your students through old and new topics. Our updated papers have to include a wider variety of question types, making them accessible to all and allowing students to show the full range of their abilities.
