NFEC

Raising standards and outcomes in engineering education.

NFEC is here to raise standards and outcomes in engineering education. We bring together everyone with a stake in it: engineering employers, further education colleges, post-16 providers, universities, schools and awarding organisations. Together we share good practice, run events and seminars, and support one another across every region, so no institution has to improve alone.
