A BTEC Level 5 HND in Engineering (Mechanical) qualification gives you the knowledge, understanding and skills that are need to prepare for the next step in your career with a widely recognised higher level qualifications.
Mechanical Engineering is all about designing, developing, maintaining and improving mechanical systems. Further, with the increasing importance of climate change and its impact on engineers, a unit discussing this topic has been included on all courses. This HND qualification is to the latest fully accredited RQF standards and is about:
- providing opportunities for engineers/technicians to achieve a nationally recognised level 5 vocationally specific qualification
- providing opportunities for progress to higher education vocational qualifications, such as a full- or part time degree in engineering
- providing opportunities for learners to focus on the development of the higher level skills in a technological and management context
- providing specialist studies relevant to individual vocations and professions
Note: Since 2017, the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) replaced the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) for HNC/D Engineering courses.
