The focus in these varies, from consultation, design and advisory, to site-based work. The HNC Civil Engineering provides the relevant qualification for a Civil Engineering Technician.

You will benefit from strong industry links and professional practice, giving you the skills required to improve your employment opportunities in this key industry sector.
