"summary": "The world of engineering is dynamic, fast-paced, technically challenging and exciting. This ever-changing environment offers stimulating and rewarding careers in a range of sectors. \n\nThe Higher National Certificate in Engineering enables you to study modules and topics that are relevant to a range of careers. This broad focus enables you to develop your professional experience with a strong grasp of the underpinning principles that support a successful career in engineering.\n\nThis course is also approved as a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ) by The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IFATE).\n\nThe programme is offered on a full-time basis and will prepare you for employment or study at the next level. You will study a minimum of eight modules which will cover a broad range of engineering subjects and will be delivered by lecturers with the relevant industry and academic experience. The assignments are linked to modern industrial engineering technology and will enable you to make a positive impact within your current organisation. \n\nAs well as two days spent in College, it is expected that the student will equal this time working outside the College on assessments, research, revision and other learning activities.\n\nAll engineering companies demand well qualified, versatile and adaptable staff with high-level skills and knowledge. This course also opens up potential opportunities for further study including progression to a Higher National Diploma, Foundation Degree or Honours Degree in subsequent years.\n\nDelivered at our Roundhouse Campus adjacent to the Derby train station, the programme is regulated by OfS and the qualification is awarded by Pearson Edexcel. \n\nIn the light of the COVID-19 pandemic we will seek to mitigate risks to health by applying social distancing and other government guidelines and continuing to respond to the changing public health situation through appropriate changes to our courses, services and facilities. Where official guidance or concerns for the health of students and staff demand it, we will review our approach.\n\nWe will be welcoming students next academic year. We will also do all we reasonably can to meet the needs of students whose individual circumstances mean that they cannot attend any in-person teaching.\nThe academic year will start as normal and term dates will not be changed. You are advised to be flexible in your travel plans at this stage and more advice about arrangements for the start of term will follow in July.\nTeaching will be delivered by a blend of in-person and online teaching, and we will adapt our timetables, teaching methods, course content and locations for delivery of teaching to achieve this. The balance of the blend will depend on the stringency of social distancing and other regulations in force at the time. Where possible, teaching by seminars, practicals and supervisions will be delivered in person, and it may be possible for teaching to smaller groups to be given on this basis. The size of the face-to-face contact groups will be determined by the capacity of rooms allocated on the timetable, and also the activity taking place within the room. If large-scale whole-class teaching in person becomes permissible, then the DCG Engineering Academy will reintroduce it as soon as possible.\nResearch and learning facilities: it is our aim that all students who need them for their studies and research will have sufficient and suitable access to practical facilities, libraries and other facilities, subject to the restrictions of social distancing.\n\nSupport: the DCG Engineering Academy will offer you pastoral support in many forms.",
