Industry Leaders Choose NC Group for Pearson-Approved HNC in Engineering
North East-based training provider NC Group recently announced it secured formal approval from Pearson, the UK’s leading awarding body, to deliver Level 4 Higher National Certificates (HNCs) and Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) in Engineering, making it one of a select group of independent training providers in the UK with this status.
It is now pleased to welcome twelve learners from global to regional employers, including 3M, Katmex, Ineos, Harrison Packaging, Ricor North East, Hydram, Pragmatic Maintenance & Reliability, and the Invest People Group.
“We’re delighted to see such strong demand for the HNC in Engineering,” said Liam Noble, Managing Director at NC Group. “When we secured Pearson approval, our goal was to expand progression pathways beyond Level 3 Apprenticeships for both our learners and employers. To welcome twelve learners from such a high calibre of companies shows the confidence industry has in our approach.”
