hnc opinions

[harryspark]

has anyone done the hnc in electrical engineering, is it worth it?

I have done the hnd and found it very interesting depends what direction you want to go in work to whether you need it, I now just do domestic installs at the moment so little use to me!

I was thinking of doing this but thought hnd would be more worth while, think it costs quite a bit more though.

You can't run before you can walk.:wink_smile:



I'm doing my HNC now, it depends on which direction you wish to travel in TBH.

well, i did the hnd and look where it got me!

 

[harryspark]

well i work mainly with generators from 5kVA to 200kVA but i also 'sync the gensets' to provide more power for an application using a software programme called comAP. the other things i do is general maintenence on all of our 3 phase distribution kit and make the larger cabling like 125a 3 phase. so im not sure wether to go down the hnc route or the inspection and testing/am2

What does your employer recommend ?

In general the more qualifications you have the better. Some sparks love their work and never want to do anythink esle.

I have met many old sparks who would love to get an office job and it is always lack of qualifications that hold them back.

we cannot decide, i could get on fine going down the 17th, am2 and inspection and testing but the hnc/hnd looks great on a cv etc along with the other 3 quals

Can you give us a bit more background such as what quals you hold currently and where you intend going future wise???
