What National Certificate and HNC Mechanical Engineering Qualification Options Do I have?
Asked by Mickey K-Dan
I have recently completed my first year in doing National Certificate Engineering & Manufacturing. What options do I have If I only complete the full 2 years National Certificate? & What further options do I have if I complete the 2 year Higher National Certificate Course and possibly Higher National Diploma? I am currently doing an apprenticeship and my official title is Trainee Mechanical Designer. What further options do I have of expanding or moving sideways into a different career path with using these qualifications? i.e Graphic Designer etc etc

Best Answer:
Hierarchy: BTEC National Certificate BTEC National Diploma after that you can do either HNC (one year) or HND (two years) or Foundation degree. BTEC HNC (like first year at Uni) After this you might go to employment or on second year at the Uni BTEC HND (second year at Uni) After this you might go to employment or on third year at the Uni and get BA degree
