Electrical Engineering HNC

The course is aimed at those wishing to obtain a Higher Engineering Technician qualification. The HNC course consists of a minimum of 5 H units at level H1 and 5 at level H2, whilst the HND consists of a minimum of 16 H units, 8 at level H1 and 8 at level H2 . Once these units have been obtained an EDEXCEL Higher National Certificate/Diploma in Electrical/Electronic Engineering can be awarded.
