Students enrol in instrumentation HNC
A Higher National Certificate (HNC) course in instrumentation engineering by open/distance learning is suited to those who are unable to attend college on either a full-time or part-time basis
Logis-Tech Associates reports a 56% increase in student enrolment on the Higher National Certificate (HNC) in instrumentation engineering course by distance learning from April 2004 to late March 2005, compared to the previous year Managing director Hugo Gallagher believes this is due to the flexibility of the course: students study in their own time and at their own pace, thus fitting in with home and work committments

Energy wasted in compressed air is common in industry, and also expensive - making it sensible to continuously inspect air, vacuum, and gas installations for leaks
An HNC course in instrumentation engineering by open/distance learning is suited to those who are unable to attend college on either a full-time or part-time basis.
It also appeals to those who work irregular hours and those who work in remote locations - shift workers, oil rig workers, seamen, armed forces, laboratory workers, etc.
The HNC in instrumentation engineering consists of core modules and a number of modules from the principles and technology group.
A typical programme of study for a HNC in instrumentation consists of five core (compulsory) modules worth seven credits and several principles and technology modules (five credits).
A student needs to obtain 12 credits to obtain a HNC in instrumentation engineering.
This course is accredited by SQA, is a nationally and internationally recognised qualification and on obtaining a HNC in instrumentation the student can be eligible to credit transfer towards the first year of a HND/BEng in engineering course via an English university (also available by open/distance learning, but with a few formal examinations) or worth 120 points via the degree through the UK's Open University.
