A Pearson BTEC Level 5 Qualification for Engineering Technicians. This conversion course has three 'pathways' - Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic or General Engineering - and delivers the extra modules needed, in addition to those already acquired at HNC (Level 4), to provide the full complement of 16 required by Pearson for a Level 5 HND qualification. The Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Engineering offers students pathways designed to support progression into relevant occupational areas or onto degree level study. These pathways are linked to Professional Body standards (where appropriate) and can provide progression towards professional status or entry to the later stages of an appropriate degree.

Progression Next Steps

These qualifications provide students with a clear pathway to employment, appropriate support during employment and a recognised progression route to gain the further learning required at Level 6 to achieve Incorporated Engineer (IEng) registration or to the final stages of a degree.
