Engineering HNC

What will I study? You will have the opportunity to study a Higher National Certificate in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Electronic Engineering. This is an exciting opportunity to further your career in engineering by studying modules as diverse as mathematics and business management. Each route has a number of standard modules which are common and further modules which are discreet to the specific route you have chosen.

Is there anything else I need to know? The length of the course you decide to study will vary on which route you decide to take.

What do I need to get on the course? You will have already gained qualifications at Level 3 or above, this could be a National Certificate or Diploma in Engineering or relevant A Level subjects including mathematics. There is a formal interview procedure which you attend where a member of the team will have the opportunity to ascertain your qualifications and suitability. You of course will also have the opportunity to see whether this course of study is right for you and exactly what it entails. Part of the process is for you to be given a maths assessment, not as daunting as it sounds, because we ask you to take it away to complete. When you are ready you then make an appointment to review your answers, this gives both you and us the opportunity to see what level you are at and make a judgement on course suitability.

What can I do after the course? Engineering is almost an unlimited field of opportunity and the skills you develop stand you in good stead for all sorts of career, in each path there is a requirement for design, manufacturing, quality, maintenance and systems engineers. You could specialise in materials, analytical, stress or even research, there are no boundaries to available careers.
