Supplementary materials

Practical kits - several of the electronic modules require practical work to be done. Teesside University open learning in engineering has developed practical kits to enable this work to be completed by distance learning students at home. If you are studying directly with us you are loaned these kits as required, for no extra charge (except for the return carriage costs). Other centres wishing to offer these modules must ensure they have suitable practical facilities to enable students to complete the work. Details of specific requirements can be obtained by contacting us.

Software - some HNC modules require specific software to be used. Wherever possible we have used free software that can be downloaded once the module is purchased. For example: Business Management Techniques requires 'Microsoft Project' and Engineering Design requires 'Autocad'.
