Hi Lester,Hi There. A bit about myself, Im a time served electrician self employed for around 20 years. As time went by the knees started to play up, so hung up the tools and started working for a large electronics manufacturing company working as an electrical safety engineer. My qualifications as it stands are: 2330 L3, 2394, 2395, 18th, 2919, 2377. I have always wanted to undertake the HNC, but with work and family commitments back then, I put it on hold. I am now 41 with grown up kids and a little spare time. I approached my company and asked if they would support me financially through the HNC, and they agreed. I contacted Teesside to undertake the HNC via distance learning. I have been accepted on the course but you have probably already guessed it, ill have to complete the bridging math course before i can start the HNC. I have been given 6 months to complete this math course. My question is, how long did it take you guys to complete the bridging math course? I enjoy maths but its been a while. I did a GCSE equivalent higher paper through the OU around 5 years ago (just so i'm up to speed when it came to the kids maths home work)
Welcome to the group and best of luck with the studies ahead!
I helped my work colleague through his maths bridge (I fortunately didn't have to do it for mine!) it is aimed I'd say just higher than gcse maths. You do a bit of stuff with algebra, trigonometry, calculus (hardest thing you might not have done) and statistics I believe. We smashed through it in about a month to 2 months and that was solely him with a little bit of guidance from me when it came to the TMAs. The lesson notes are very good and will easily get you through it!
And regardless you have a good group here who do try to help each other out so any issues just give us a shout. I'm quite active on the forum so feel free to message me.
