About this course

BTEC HNC Operations Engineering Course. Study online at your own pace, fitting learning around work or other commitments.

The course takes around one year to complete. You'll study topics in operations engineering that are relevant to real technical roles. Units cover engineering principles, operations management, and technical problem-solving.

You'll need a relevant Level 3 engineering qualification or equivalent work experience to join. You must be at least 18 years old. You'll finish with a BTEC Higher National Certificate in Operations Engineering.

Who this course is for

BTEC Higher Nationals are internationally recognised higher education qualifications at levels 4 and 5 that are equivalent to the first and second years of a university degree. They provide learners with an affordable, vocational route to completing a degree, upskilling or employment. These courses are fully accredited by Pearson.This course is the ideal choice for you if:You want an affordable, fast-track, and guaranteed route towards the third and final year of an Engineering degree-related BA/BSc degree You are employed, do not have the time to go to college or university, and, therefore, need a more flexible route up the ladder. You currently work in an Engineering sector and want to upskill and progress in your role.

Entry requirements

A pre-requisite to gaining entry onto the HNC is to have a relevant level 3 qualification in engineering OR relevant work experience in the engineering. For those who have not studied up to level 3 in Maths, it is strongly recommended that you consider adding on the Bridging Maths course, learners may be required to complete a bridging course(s) before gaining entry onto an HNC/D. Age requirement: the minimum age requirement for this course is 18.

What you will learn

  • You'll develop knowledge of core engineering principles and operations.
  • You'll study how engineering systems and processes are managed.
  • You'll learn to analyse and solve technical problems.
  • You'll build understanding of quality and safety in engineering environments.
  • You'll explore how manufacturing and production operations work.
  • You'll develop skills relevant to engineering technician roles.

How you will learn

You study online, working through units at your own pace. Assessment is through assignments and projects rather than exams. You submit work digitally and receive feedback from tutors. The course is designed to fit around full-time work or other commitments.

What you will need to bring

Unicourse will confirm anything you need before you start. You will need a reliable internet connection and a device to access course materials and submit assignments.
