HN Mechanical 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 mechanical engineering industry, giving them the skills and expertise to progress in the industry by taking on more highly-skilled roles.
We can now offer units in bundles of between 1-4 units, instead of solely through a full HN qualification, owing 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.
