However other qualifications and experience will be taken into consideration when processing your application.

  • C&G 0603 Certificate in Process Technology

Higher National Certificates

Normal entry requirements are Ordinary National Certificate (ONC) in an appropriate engineering discipline, or equivalent. However, other qualifications and experience are taken into consideration. A Mathematics 'bridging' module (certificated City & Guilds at Level 3) is available which prepares you for HNC entry. There is also a Process Chemistry 'bridging' module for the HNC Chemical Engineering.
