Teeside HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering

[Davey1988]

Just about to sign up for distance learning for hnc electrical. I completed my level 3 NVQ like this so hopefully I can cope lol if anyone has done the distance learning for the hnc can you send me a unit or two just to check what I'm letting my self in for?

Cheers guys. would really apprichate any stuff on this which would help.

Hi both,

Good to see more signing up to it. Are you both looking to start in May?

We'll all have to swap contact details.

Speak soon

 

[YoungBart]

Indeed I am, not really sure how open learning works, or wether I'll manage to balance work/home/HNC or not, it'll br good to have some contacts

I am thinking about applying for this. I am a time served electrician with 17th edition and inspection and testing and i have always been ok picking up maths stuff.
On there site it says you need a btech?
just wondering if anyone has started with similar quals as myself ?

Hello Matey,

i have signed up to the course to start in May. I have City & Guilds NVQ level 3 and Compex and didnt get much of a problem when applying. I think they count the inspection & testing as credits towards a module.
As for the maths they look for some type of qualification above GCSE's level from what I have read so A levels etc. hope this helps.

Hi Lads,

Long time since I posted on this thread (or any thread for that matter) since starting up my own business, the HNC has taken a role on the back burner! Buttttt I have just finished module no.5 and I then wished to study Electrical Services only for TUOLE to tell me that it has been suspended??? what other modules have you guys done? (Elective modules that is)

So far I have covered

Engineering Science
Electrical and electronic principles
Analytical methods for engineers
Lighting
PLC
Project still to do
Business management techniques
and last one I don't know!

Anybody else start the maths module at Teesside today open learning?

Have just got my Electrical and electronic principles to go and was wondering if anyone could help in any way. Many thanks

Hi all,

Hope we're all well. Due to work commitments I'm unable to start the course until October.

Anyone here started in May? If so, how are you finding it?

Cheers

Im only on the 6th lesson of the algebra but I have been on 12 hour shifts and I'm struggling to take in the information after work, got fri to Monday off tho so hoping to finish it and get my assessment in last minute, was trying to do it at 4 or 5 in the morning and that was a waste of time. You should be ok if your on the last lesson of trigonometry

Ah man yeah that will be hard work trying to focus after shift. If you need a hand with anything give me a shout, it sounds like there is a few people just starting lesson 1 on the algebra over the last week

Hi all
After a long break I decided I had better get going again..
Completed Maths, Eng Science and pneumatics so far, now just about to start Electrical Machines.
Anybody here done Elec Machines?

Oh man, motivation is difficult when the sun is still shining once you get home from work..

thanks for the offer of help mate, hopefully I'll be ok, got 2 weeks off during the trigonometry so hoping not to get too far behind on that one

I am currently completing the electrical machines unit. I've got one TMA to complete but I've found the maths difficult. This is the first unit I've attempted through Tees Uni. I've already got 4 units from about 10 years ago when I started the HNC through a local college which I've APL'd across to Tees. I remember the assignments being easier from 10 years ago making me wish I had completed it back then, but circumstances made it difficult. Good luck with the unit, let me know if I can give you any help. I'm trying to decide which unit to do next, just got project to complete from the core ones and two more elective.

 

[sparky222]

Hi all, just completing electrical machines unit, the maths was hard. Anyone got any advice as to next possible units? I need to do project and another 2 elective units. I've already completed PLC's.
