Electrical and Electronic
Engineering HNC
This course gives you the opportunity to complete specialist studies, which are directly relevant to roles
within the electrical/electronic and in some cases mechatronic sectors. The Higher National Certificate
(HNC) is a nationally-recognised Level 4 qualification, suitable for consolidating or improving your
knowledge. It is a natural progression from BTEC Level 3, however other routes are possible.
This course is delivered in our well-equipped labs, which are a great
place to learn about a wide variety of subjects and topic areas.
The subjects studied will give you a very good grounding and are
delivered in both a theoretical and practical way. 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 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 two years to complete.
You will study a number of modules (eight in total) at Level 4, including
Engineering Design, Engineering Maths, Electrical and Electronic
Principles, and Mechatronics.
Assessment will be carried out by a series of assignments, some
developed by Pearson and some in house.
