PROGRESSION
Many of our HNC students use their qualification as a stepping stone to year 2 of a full BSc/BA degree of relevance. We have also supported learners to further their existing careers and set up their own businesses within their chosen field.
“The HNC in Electronics gave me the skills needed to progress rapidly through the company, from test engineer, to production engineer, to engineering manager and, at the age of 32, I was appointed Company Director – an achievement which still makes me incredibly proud.”
Owen Rolfe, Director at Aero Stanrew and former HNC Electronics student
