About this course

BTEC Level 4 Electrical and Electronic Engineering Course in Blackpool. Classes run at Bispham Campus, part-time during the day.

This BTEC covers how modern electrical and electronic systems are designed, controlled, and maintained. You'll build technical knowledge and hands-on problem-solving skills across core engineering areas. The course runs over two years at a manageable pace.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC Higher National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Who this course is for

The Level 4 HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is an industry‑focused qualification designed to give you a solid grounding in how modern electrical and electronic systems are designed, controlled and maintained. Whether you're already working in the sector or looking to move into an engineering role, this course develops the technical knowledge, hands‑on skills and problem‑solving ability employers expect from today's engineers. You'll build a strong technical foundation across key areas, including: electrical principles and power systems; analogue and digital electronics; programmable logic controllers (PLCs); engineering mathematics for analysis and design. The course focuses on understanding how systems work - and how to diagnose, test and improve them in real operational environments. Throughout the course, you'll work with industry‑standard software and equipment, helping you gain practical experience in: designing and testing electrical systems; fault‑finding and system maintenance; applying theory to real engineering challenges. You'll also strengthen technical communication, project planning and problem‑solving skills, essential for progressing into higher‑level engineering roles. Delivered over two years on a part‑time basis, the course combines: structured lectures; applied projects; practical, coursework‑based assessments. There are no formal exams - instead, you'll demonstrate your skills through assignments and projects aligned with current industry standards, making this course practical, achievable and career‑focused.

Entry requirements

A minimum of 48 UCAS points (excluding Functional Skills) in an appropriate discipline: DD from A levels to include mathematics and a technology, engineering or science-based subject; PPP from Extended Diploma, MP from Diploma, MM from 90 Credit Diploma in appropriate Engineering discipline; Mathematics GCSE at Grade B/5 or above and English Language GCSE at grade C/4 or above.

What you will learn

  • You'll study the principles of electrical and electronic circuit design.
  • You'll develop knowledge of control systems and automation.
  • You'll learn how to maintain and fault-find electrical systems.
  • You'll apply mathematics to engineering problems.
  • You'll explore the design and testing of electronic components.
  • You'll build skills in engineering project planning and analysis.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom sessions at Bispham Campus. The course combines taught theory with practical, hands-on work. Assessment is through assignments and project-based tasks. There are no written exams for most units. You'll build a portfolio of work that demonstrates your technical skills across the qualification.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Bispham Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do
