About this course
The 2024 revalidated Pearson BTEC Higher National Certificate in Electrical Systems Engineering for England course includes an enhanced work-related curriculum that is designed to address an increasing need for high quality professional and technical education pathways at Levels 4 and 5, equipping students with the right skills and competencies for the workplace, or progression to further higher education study. Pathways have been aligned to IfATE occupational standards.
The Higher National Certificate is a part-time course that progresses students who have achieved Level 3 qualifications to develop their personal effectiveness and employability, in particular their ability to learn, to communicate, to work with others and to solve engineering problems. It is possible to study this course as an apprentice.

Assessment methods
A wide range of assessment methods and equipment appropriate to the learning outcomes and assessment criteria will be used, and will consider the practices used within the engineering sector. Whilst credit is awarded at a threshold level of achievement only, grading arrangements will apply to individual units which will allow for the reward of merit and distinction achievement according to Edexcel's published grading domains and criteria. Provision will be made for all engineering Higher National students to be eligible for grades beyond a pass level.
Assessment is considered an important part of the learning process. In designing the forms of assessment for this award, care has been taken to ensure that all assessments test the skills and knowledge needed in the Engineering working environment.
Formative and summative assessment methods are diverse and include problem based assignments, work-based projects requiring oral and written reports, individual exercises experimental work, work-based assignments and phased tests.
