About this course

Free Level 4 HNC in Engineering course in Telford. Classes run at Telford College, part-time during the day. You'll study over 35 weeks, balancing learning with work or other commitments. The course covers core engineering principles, including engineering maths and science, project management, design, and quality processes. You'll build knowledge through a mix of research, directed study, and workplace activities, making the level 4 hnc in engineering qualification well suited to those already working in an engineering role.

Who this course is for

Targeted at meeting the needs of local engineering employers, this course is ideal for those working in an engineering related field looking to boost their career prospects and increase their skills. You’ll gain plenty of practical and theoretical knowledge through research, self study, directed study and workplace activities. You’ll explore the core principles of engineering, including project management, design, engineering maths and science and quality process and improvement.

Entry requirements

GCSE Maths (grade A*-C) and one A Level or AS Level pass in maths or a scientific subject. Those with industry experience or mature students who don’t fulfil requirements will be considered individually.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore the core principles of engineering and how they apply in practice.
  • You'll develop your understanding of engineering maths and science.
  • You'll study design processes and engineering applications.
  • You'll learn about quality processes and continuous improvement.
  • You'll build skills in project management within an engineering context.
  • You'll carry out research and self-directed study to deepen your technical knowledge.

How you will learn

You'll learn through a combination of classroom sessions, directed study, self-study, and workplace activities. Assessment is through assignments and project work rather than formal exams. Classes are daytime and part-time, so you can fit study around existing work or commitments. Your progress is assessed throughout the course rather than in a single end-point assessment.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Telford College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Engineering technician, supporting design and production teams
  • Quality control inspector, monitoring standards in manufacturing
  • Project coordinator, managing engineering projects and timelines
  • Maintenance engineer, keeping plant and equipment running
  • Design technician, working on technical drawings and specifications
  • Production supervisor, overseeing engineering operations on site

What you could study next

A natural next step is the Pearson Edexcel BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) in Engineering at Level 5, which builds directly on the HNC. From there, many learners progress to a full Bachelor's degree in Engineering, often with advanced entry into year two or three at university. For those in management roles, a Level 5 Operations or Departmental Manager qualification can complement the technical grounding the HNC provides.
