Course summary

This course will give you the opportunity to complete the new updated 2024 version HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering for England, this is an updated version of the HNC known as a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ). The Higher National Certificate (HNC) is studied at Level 4 and is suitable for people who want to consolidate or improve their knowledge and who wish to gain a nationally recognised qualification. The HNC is generally a natural progression from BTEC or EAL Level 3 Diploma qualifications, however other routes onto it are possible. The course is delivered in our well-equipped labs, are a great place to learn about a wide variety of subjects and topic areas.

The equipment used in the labs is industry standard and most of the software/simulation packages used are the same as those used in industry. The Pearson Higher National Certificate (HNC) is suitable for people who are currently working in or hoping to work in a technical and/or managerial role in their chosen field. It is delivered as a part time day release course and takes 2 years to complete. You will study 8 modules at level 4: Engineering Design, Engineering Maths, Managing a Professional engineering project, Automation, Robotics and PLC, Electrical & Electronic Principles, Electrical Machines, Production engineering for manufacturing and Quality and process improvement. Assessment will be carried out by a series of assignments, some developed by Pearson and some in house.
