The Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Mechanical Engineering is intended for students seeking a career as a mechanical design or test engineer. This Level 4 university-level certificate has a strong vocational focus, providing you with the information, abilities, and hands-on experience required for success in the field.
Employers recognise the HNC as a national standard, making it suitable for professionals already working in the industry who wish to expand their knowledge while juggling job and education. It is an affordable alternative to a full university degree and is equivalent to the first year of a full-time university-level programme.
