Class sizes will be small and up to 14 learners to provide a more focused learning environment allowing team interaction and a unique opportunity to encourage experience sharing, knowledge exchange and skill building. The combination of small class sizes and our structured approach has contributed to a 100% pass rate since the initiation of the HNC programme with over 80% of students attaining higher grades supporting career progression in the workplace or further study.

Once completed, you will be awarded a Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Manufacturing Engineering.

The course offers students a broad introduction to the subject area via a mandatory core of learning and specialist /optional units.

The mandatory units covered are:

• Unit 4001: Engineering Design

• Unit 4002: Engineering Mathematics

• Unit 4003: Engineering Science

• Unit 4004: Managing a Professional Engineering Project

• Unit 4014 Production engineering for manufacturing.

• Unit 4017 Quality and process improvement.

• Unit 4007 Machining and Processing of Engineering Material.

• Unit 4008 Mechanical Principles.

 

Start Date: September

Duration: 2 Years

Delivery: 1 Day Release on Fridays/Weekly

Cost: £3,000+VAT per year

Brief Description 

Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications in Engineering offer:

  • A stimulating and challenging programme of study that will be both engaging and memorable for students.
  • The essential subject knowledge that students need to progress successfully within the world of work or onto further study.
  • A focused introduction to latest advancements in engineering.
  • A wide range of scientific and engineering knowledge linked to practical skills obtained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios.
  • Vocational activities that help students to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills.
  • A varied approach to assessment that supports progression to higher levels and also allows centres to offer assessments relevant to employers and the local economy, thereby accommodating and enhancing different learning styles.
  • The Level 4 HNC qualification is designed to meet the needs of employers encompassing one to two Level 5 units
  • Upon the success of completion of the HNC course, the HND course can be completed in one year (provided the appropriate Level 4 HNC units have been achieved.
  • Day release required
  • Teaching, learning, and assessment will be based at Rochdale Training.
