The Level 4 units lay the foundation of learning by providing a broad introduction to automation and control engineering. Students will gain a wide range of engineering knowledge linked to practical skills obtained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios. Students are involved in vocational activities that help them to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and in the workplace. By the end of Level 4 study, students will have sound knowledge of the basic concepts of automation and control engineering. They will be competent in a range of subject specific skills as well as in general skills and qualities relevant to these key areas of engineering.<br/><br/>This course is particularly relevant to people already working in or looking to develop a career within Automation and Control Engineering.<br/><br/>Upon completion of the HNC Automation and Control Engineering program in England (HTQ), graduates possess the skills and knowledge necessary to embark on diverse career paths. With a solid foundation in automation and control systems, they are well-equipped to pursue opportunities in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and telecommunications. Graduates may find roles as automation engineers, process control technicians, robotics specialists, or systems integrators, where they contribute to the design, implementation, and optimization of advanced technologies. Additionally, they may explore avenues in research and development, innovation, or consultancy, driving forward advancements in automation and enhancing operational efficiencies across industries.<br/><br/>On successful completion of the Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate (HNC), students can develop their careers in the engineering sector through:<br/><br/>• Entering employment<br/>• Continuing existing employment<br/>• Linking with the appropriate Professional Bodies<br/>• Linking with the appropriate vendor accredited certificates [if appropriate]<br/>• Committing to Continuing Professional Development (CPD)<br/><br/>The Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate (HNC) further provides a solid academic foundation in engineering, which students can build on should they decide to continue their studies beyond the Certificate stage. Following level 4 HNC, the Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma further allows students to specialise by committing to specific career paths and progression routes to degree-level study (level 6 onwards).
