Electrical engineering HNC Prospects

[Lee1994]

Hi, I am currently an apprentice at an electrical company that offers a wide variety of hands on experience, and I am learning a huge amount, at a very fast pace. My plans are to complete the Level 3 NVQ, complete 17th edition wiring regulations, complete the Test and Inspection course (which I am already preparing myself for) More to the case, after all that I would like to study the Electrical engineering HNC. I aim for progressing towards a job in the design sector of the electrical industry.
I would just like some feedback from people about the HNC. If possible, I would love to continue at work whilst studying the HNC via distance learning. I am a very determined person, and know I would be able to manage it through distance learning. I have heard of some people completing it in a year through distance learning, is this possible? Is there any vital information I should be aware of?

thanks,
Ryan Lee

You may need to do an onc first. They'll consider your application on qualifications and experience . If they do accept you on a hnc then they'll probably ask that you complete a bridging module first. Usually engineering mathematics. That's way beyond what sparks do. To get a taste, dig up.....differentiation.

+do it while you have the drive!

Try out Teesside University or Logis-Tech for HNC elecrical distance learning

Found the onc actually harder due to not ever having done anything like that before. The hnc was still challenging just be prepared for quadratic equations and j notation. The rest ain't too bad.
