Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma (RQF) is a 2-year international qualification which is equivalent to 1st and 2nd year of a three-year UK Bachelor’s degree. This qualification is awarded by Pearson, UK and accredited by BTEC (Business & Technology Education Council) and Edexcel. Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering is designed to provide with an in-depth knowledge of aircraft and engine design and level of maintenance engineering. The qualification is enables to progress towards obtaining a B. Eng. (Honors)/ level 6 in Aeronautical Engineering Degree from BTEC Pearson or a career within an aerospace or aviation industry. This qualification is also allowing learners to develop knowledge, understanding and practical skills to embark on, or further, a career in the modern aircraft engineering business, whether in aircraft design and manufacturing, aircraft operations, or maintenance and repair.
