III Read the text. Think about the title of it

1- What is the difference between a technician, a technologist, and an engineer? The main difference is in level of education and training. Engineers have the most advanced training and normally hold university degrees. In everyday contexts, the titles technician and technologist are sometimes used interchangeably, meaning a specialist working in technology below the level of engineer.

2- In training contexts, technologist is normally used for someone at a higher level (usually trained for 2-3 years) than a technician (usually trained for l-2 years). You can progress from technician to technologist and then to engineer by following courses at colleges and universities. Colleges offer certificates and diplomas (a diploma is a higher level qualification than a certificate). Universities offer degrees.

3- As an example, in the UK system, most young people who want a career in technology start by studying at a college of further education or university. Some universities allow students to transfer to a degree course early, after completing only one year of a diploma course. It is also possible for students to leave school at sixteen and work as an apprentice with a company. The company can then release them from work for some time every week to allow them to study at a college. This is called a part-time, day-release or sandwich course.

IV Read the text again and choose heading for each paragraph

V Find the paragraphs which explain:

A. How training courses differ

B. The main difference between a technician, a technologist, and an engineer

C. The UK system of a career in technology
