Operations Engineering (HTQ)

The Pearson BTEC Operations Engineering for England HND Level 5 is a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ) that has been approved against employer developed standards, also known as occupational standards.

Open the door to the world of engineering! Gain expert knowledge in engineering principles, production processes, electro and hydraulic systems, and fault finding. You will develop and apply your own ideas, deal with uncertainty and complexity, explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation, and use both theory and practice in a wide range of engineering situations.

The Operations Engineering HND Level 5 is a two year course. During your first year, you will study a Level 4 HNC. Upon successful completion of the first year, you will then progress on to the second year if you choose to study the Level 5 HND.

Throughout this course, you will develop confidence in areas such as:
Developing and applying your own ideas to your studies
Dealing with uncertainty and complexity
Exploring solutions
Demonstrating critical evaluation
Using both theory and practice in a wide range of engineering situations

Engineering Design
Engineering Maths
