HN Maintenance Engineering Bundle (Pearson)

This bundle of HN Engineering units has been specifically put together for those who are looking to study a few units that will directly benefit them in the maintenance engineering industry, giving them the skills and expertise to progress in the industry by taking on more highly-skilled roles.

We can now offer accredited units in bundles of between 1-4 units, instead of solely through a full HN qualification, owing to to Pearson's new HN Flex scheme.

The HN Flex scheme allows you to gain skills in a more efficient and bite-size way , without having to enrol in a full qualification course. It means you can study individual, stackable Higher National (HN) units with the progression opportunity of a full, long-term Higher National qualification in the future.

HN Flex may appeal to you if you are:
• Someone who has previously studied HN units or obtained an HNC or HND, and you would like to top up your knowledge and skills base.
• Have the long-term ambition of obtaining a Higher National qualification, but for the time being would only like to study a few topics/units, which can be banked and then used later on down the line towards your qualification.
• Interested in gaining more niche skills, to upskill or reskill, for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), instead of completing a full qualification.
• Interested in studying a combination of topics/units from both our HN Engineering and HN Business programmes. Someone working in engineering who is required to develop skills in business management would take up this route.

Upon completing an individual HN unit, students receive a Certificate of Unit Credit (CoUC) which will detail the unit(s) studied, Ofqual number and the unit credits. Students can then progress to a full HN via the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process.

Benefits For Students:
• Fully accredited by Pearson BTEC. 15 credits awarded per unit under the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ)
• Flexible, unlimited tutor support.
• No exams! All assessments are based on assignments that you submit in your own time.
• Fast marking within 48 hours of submission.
• Flexible study that you can complete in your own time - you can balance work, life and your studies.
• Credits banked towards internationally recognised courses – BTEC Higher Nationals are delivered by universities, colleges, and distance learning providers in 60 countries around the world.
• Flexible and competitive payment plans.
• 14-day money-back guarantee.
• No attendance required – All learning and assessment resources are hosted online.
• All learning objectives are part of the RQF framework, and all resources are the same as the usual Pearson BTEC HNC/D resources.

Benefits For Employers:
• Provide CPD via specific occupationally relevant units.
• No need for long commitment to a full qualification.
• Lower investment.
• The ability to target specific knowledge, skills and behaviours and upskill employees rapidly.
• The chance to build relationships with the region’s local college/s.

"I have enjoyed my course so far with UniCourse, I have found it a lot more flexible and can fit it around my hectic lifestyle a lot easier than attending college with assignment deadlines. Any problem I have had with the course have been answered very quickly. I would recommend UniCourse to others who are busy but want to carry on with education."

"From the start of the enrolment phase, UniCourse admin team made everything simple and clear how the course would be laid out with the program ‘Moodle’ I would be using. The course is a very convenient way to study even if you are already fully employed like myself and lecturers were easily contactable and friendly. Overall I had pleasant experience with UniCourse and would recommend them to anyone looking to improve on their education"

"My dream of finishing my studies has been possible only because of UniCourse, they have given me the opportunity to be flexible with my studies and hold a full time job all at the same time. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to study and work at the same time. I have found them to be very helpful with all my queries and they are quick to help me solve my problems. This is so convenient for me - I can study in my own time and in my own home no need to travel to college at a certain time. After finishing my current HNC course I hope to start my HND with UniCourse. They are fantastic i am very pleased with them."

"With a full-time job and 2 very young kids, a normal 9-5 course was not an option. It was becoming increasingly difficult to better my career options. Finding UniCourse on the internet has really opened up my learning potential. Their professionalism, knowledge and flexibility are really first class. To sum them up in one word.... Awesome!"

"I have found UniCourse to not only be a very convenient way to study as I am a self employed full-time electrician, but also the course tutor to be very helpful. Whether I require help by phone, email or a live web session he is always available. The tutor also returns marked work very quickly allowing me plenty of time to make any adjustments. I have found UniCourse to afford me the best opportunity to progress my career whilst also continuing to work full time. "

"I have really enjoyed my experience so far with UniCourse.org even obtaining a Distinction on my first module. The staff and lecturers are quick and helpful with their responses to any and all enquiries and the video conferencing platform is very helpful when discussing intricate subject matter. I would highly recommend the course to anyone wishing to broaden their horizons whilst holding down a full time job."

"Time and place were severe obstacles to me achieving a HND in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Thankfully, the flexible options offered by Unicourse have allowed me to undertake my HND from home with them while working full-time. They have personalised my HND, allowing me to choose from many optional units. The traditional colleges I looked up did not offer option choices at all. I have also managed to complete my HND with Unicourse in a fraction of the time that would have been necessary at other colleges. I am really pleased that I made the right choice. The support I got was fantastic."

"If you want to succeed I personally suggest you apply to UniCourse. Why? After many years away from study I did my HNC. It was hard work but with superb help and guidance I obtained 8 Distinctions. This year I am doing my HND in Electrical & Electronic Engineering with UniCourse. Again, UniCourse are pulling out all the stops with high quality assignments, a one-to-one video conferencing platform, incredible feedback and comprehensive support when needed."

Progression - What Can I Do After My Course?

What you do after your unit(s) entirely depends on how many you have already banked. You may have chosen to study an initial one unit, meaning you can continue to register for more units individually up to a maximum of four. At any point (after one, two, three, or four units), you may decide to use the credits banked towards a full Pearson HN qualification.

If you have completed four HN units, the next step would be to consider using your credits towards a full Pearson HN qualification, as you cannot study more than four individual units under the HN Flex scheme.
