Course summary
The world of engineering is dynamic and ever evolving. The Pearson BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is designed for students who wish to further develop or pursue a career in the engineering field. In addition to providing the skills, knowledge, and techniques that underpin the sector, Pearson BTEC Higher National Qualifications grant students experience of the breadth and depth of the sector, preparing you for employment, progression within your employment, or further study. This course is ideal for people who want to build strong foundations to forge a successful career in the engineering sector. Students can progress directly into a career in engineering, or you may choose to continue your studies and achieve an HND qualification. You could work in different industries, from power and renewable energy to transport, construction and manufacturing. You can improve your career prospects with incorporated or chartered engineer status. Chartered status can help you move into electrical design and project management roles, specialise in a particular field, or work as an engineering consultant. The Engineering Council have further details on how to become a chartered engineer.
This Higher Technical Qualification is approved against occupational standards decided by employers. Learn more about Higher Technical Qualifications.
