I was just wondering who else on here has signed up for this course? I am all set and ready to go, I know I have spoken to a few people about this already on different threads but just wondered if there was anybody else?

Cheers,

Danny

I enrolled on the course last year. Just completed engineering science and now half way through analytical methods. Be prepared for a lot of math as it is A level standard and beyond! If you need advice on the engineering science module I will be happy to help.

Hi mate,

sounds about right I'm expecting a lot of maths! How have you found it overall though? What type of background do you have aswell, have you studied through distance learning before?
Cheers I'm sure I could do with the help at some point!

I must confess,, the engineering module was a long hard slog. Once you get the core modules out of the way it will get easier. I had to complete an ONC in electrical engineering before they would let me on this course. I am also an electrician but I would like to get involved in electrical design etc hence the reason for me undertaking this course. I find my course tutor ( Mr Wischart) very useful but I recommend joining physics forum. You can post questions and somebody will guide you in the right direction without giving you the direct answer if you know what I mean.

hey guys, i enrolled on this course but its a distant learning one so i dont go to a class room. im more than willing to help if i can and hope you can help me if you can.

Who are you doing the distance learning with? I have been thinking about doing it this way.

Teeside university. Google "distance learning hnc teeside" I applied and within couple days been accepted but need todo mathematics course.

I've complete this course back in 2010 with absolute no regret. It has helped me boost my career in the electronics industry and I am about to complete my HND top up this year.

You'll find the maths a bit challenging unless your ok with maths to start with. Never done a distant learning course, can't really say much about it.

Certain companies have certain pay scales, some companies only start paying decent salary if your degree qualified where as other companies make your a manager just on HND alone with a high decent salary so it really does vary.

Im the same mate, its distant learning starting the 25th. How are you with maths? I started to do a little bit of revision before the module has been released. Looking forward to starting it now!

Had a little revise on indices and powers. But me pal who already done it sid just wait todo it as it explains it self sorta thing.
