Hi, I am new here. I am currently studying for my HNC in mechanical engineering :)
Mechanical Engineering HNC vs ONC: What's the Difference?
- Thread starter Ebony
- Start date
In summary, Mechanical Engineering HNC (Higher National Certificate) and ONC (Ordinary National Certificate) are two levels of education and qualifications in the field of mechanical engineering. While both aim to provide students with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles and practices, HNC is considered a higher level of qualification and requires a higher level of academic achievement. ONC is typically a prerequisite for HNC and can serve as a stepping stone towards a higher level of education. Both HNC and ONC can lead to career opportunities in a variety of industries, but HNC may offer more advanced and specialized roles. Ultimately, the main difference between HNC and ONC lies in their level of academic rigor and the depth of knowledge and skills acquired.

The Forum will give you great help [there is a Homework Forum]. Wish PF had existed when I
studied for my ONC Mechanical Engineering all
those years ago
