Entry requirements
You must have achieved a Pearson Higher National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering for England prior to commencing this progression qualification.
What you will learn
You'll develop skills in electrical and electronics design and manufacture.
You'll build knowledge of maintenance, testing, and fault-finding techniques.
You'll study engineering principles at higher technician level.
You'll apply technical knowledge to real engineering problems and projects.
You'll develop the skills needed to progress to degree-level engineering study.
How you will learn
You'll study through classroom-based sessions at Middlesbrough College, part-time during the day. The Pearson Edexcel BTEC HND is assessed through a combination of assignments, projects, and practical tasks across your modules. There are no traditional written exams for most units. Assessment is ongoing throughout the two years, so your work is built up progressively rather than all at the end.
What you will need to bring
The centre will provide most materials. Middlesbrough College will confirm anything else you need before you start.
Where next
Jobs you could do
Electrical design engineer, working on circuit and systems design
Electronics technician, testing and maintaining electronic equipment
Maintenance engineer, keeping electrical systems running safely
Fault-finding technician, diagnosing and repairing electrical faults
Electrical project engineer, supporting engineering projects from design to delivery
Manufacturing engineer, overseeing electrical production processes
