Industrial engineering learned beside the line, not only from slides
From diploma studios to short lean intensives, we teach work study, layout, and materials flow for people who will stand on a real shop floor.
The Industrial Engineering Diploma
A 36-week taught year with studio workshops, plant visits, and a capstone assessed with an industry mentor—built for technicians and career changers entering analyst or supervisory roles.
Intake places are capped so every layout board gets tutor time. You leave with measured studies, a completed capstone, and language that makes sense to plant managers in the North East and beyond.
- Work measurement and methods study
- Plant layout and materials-flow studios
- Quality systems grounded in live visits
Short courses and CPD that fit shift work
Five-day lean blocks, layout intensives, evening supply-chain CPD, and on-site training for employer cohorts.
Lean Operations Short Course
A five-day intensive on value-stream mapping, waste walks, and standard work for supervisors and continuous-improvement leads.
Workplace Layout & Ergonomics Intensive
A three-day studio workshop on station design, reach envelopes, material presentation, and reducing strain in repetitive tasks.
Supply Chain & Logistics CPD
Eight evening sessions on inventory policy, warehouse slotting, and transport trade-offs for engineers who support materials movement.
On-Site Team Training
Bespoke industrial engineering workshops delivered at your site, built around your lines, constraints, and shift patterns.
What learners take back to the line
“The diploma’s plant-visit days forced me to measure queue times I had been guessing at for years. I still found the work-measurement module dense in weeks three and four, but the studio tutors stayed with the maths until it clicked.”
“We sent six team leaders on the Lean Operations week. The waste-walk exercise on the mock cell translated straight onto our night shift the following Monday—less theorising, more marked-up maps.”
See the layout studio before you enrol
Open days walk you through the mock cells, meet tutors, and clarify whether the diploma or a short course fits your next step.
