Course summary
Pearson’s BTEC Higher Nationals are designed to provide a specialist vocational programme, linked to professional body requirements and National Occupational Standards where appropriate. They offer a strong, sector-related emphasis on practical skills development alongside the development of requisite knowledge and understanding. The qualifications provide a thorough grounding in the key concepts and practical skills required in their sector and their national recognition by employers allows direct progression to employment. A key progression path for Pearson’s BTEC HNC learners is to the BTEC HND or University Foundation Degree/Degree.
Modules
The programme is comprised of seven separate units of study. Each unit has a value of 15 credits with the exception of the Research Project which has a value of 30 credits You must achieve a minimum of 120 credits at level 5 on your programme of learning to be awarded a Pearson BTEC Level 5 HND. Units: Research Project Professional Engineering Management Further Maths Industrial Power, Electronis & StorageLean Manufacturing Industrial Systems Lean Manufacturing Further Electrical, Electronic and Digital Principles
Assessment method
Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals are assessed using a combination of internally assessed centre-devised internal assignments (which are set and marked by centres) and internally assessed Pearson set assignments (which are set by Pearson and marked by centres). Pearson set assignments are mandatory and target industry-specific skills. The number and value of these units are dependent on qualification size. All Modules will be individually graded as ‘pass’, ‘merit’ or ‘distinction’. To achieve a pass grade for the Module you must meet the assessment criteria set out in the specifications. This gives transparency to the assessment process and provides for the establishment of national standards for each qualification.
