Top up HND in Mechanical Engineering (Pearson)
The Pearson BTEC Level 5 Top up HND in Mechanical Engineering online distance learning course provides you with a specialist work-related programme of study that covers all the key knowledge, understanding, and practical skills required to work and progress within mechanical engineering. After completing an HND, learners can access more advanced roles such as a Mechanical Engineer, Design Engineer, Project Engineer, Maintenance Manager or Research and Development Engineer.
If you are interested in topping up your Level 4 HNC to a Level 5 HND, allowing to progress further in your engineering career, or if you have the ambition to get a full honours degree later on, this is the ideal course for you.
Earn your BTEC Level 5 HND from home with our flexible distance learning course. Fit learning around your work and personal commitments, and access everything you need at any time of day. You are in control of how long the course takes, as - within your chosen registration period - you can speed it up and slow it down to suit your needs. Once completed, you will be awarded a BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
Learners who have a Pearson RQF HNC (usually learners who started it from September 2017 onwards) can top up seamlessly onto the RQF HND. Any other types of HNCs or level 4/5 qualifications that you want to be considered for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) must be mapped over by our team. This process can be quite lengthy for our team, so a £50 RPL processing fee is applicable to all non-RQF qualifications.
