whats involved in a HNC?

[ExArmy]

what is involved in a HNC? is it purely maths and science? how long does it take? how hard is it?

I've just finished 2330 L3 and i found the electrical principles bit very easy, and would go as far to say that i found it interesting and enjoyed it so i'm thinking i might aswell go for the HNC if i can.

thanks

have a read of that and download the specification pdf file, it lists all available units you can do, you need to do 10units, 6 compulsory and 4 optional, obviously different colleges offer different units depending on what you want to specialise in but more often than not, theyre offered in a set of ten, take it or leave it. and no its not all maths and science.
hope this helps.

I went as far as ONC many many years ago, but couldn't be bothered to do another 2 years to HNC. My son has done it, he says it was difficult, but as pmac says he also told me it was a lot of practical and a bit of maths etc.
