University-Level Course Guide | Higher National Certificates


Overview


Petroc offers Higher National Certificates (HNCs) in Construction and Electronics.


HNCs focus on ‘learning by doing’ and teach you very specific skills related to a particular job. HNCs are very highly regarded by employers both in the UK and overseas and can also count towards membership of professional bodies and other employer organisations.


Because HNCs are specifically designed to give you the skills for a particular field of work, they can lead straight to a career. You can also use the qualifications to progress within your current career to gain professional status.


“I joined Aero Stanrew as a test engineer and the HNC at Petroc gave me the wide range of skills needed to progress rapidly through the company.” Owen Rolfe, Director at Aero Stanrew and former HNC Electronics student


HNCS are highly valued by employers
