Equivalent to the first year of a university degree, this Civil Engineering HNC offers you the practical and personal skills needed for a role in the sector or progression to further study. The Higher National Certificate in Civil Engineering Studies is a vocational course designed to help prepare you for a rewarding career in the industry.
