What will I study?
This online electrical and electronic engineering course is tailored for those looking to specialise in electrical and electronic engineering, either for a career, or for further university study.
The course is made up of 240 credits. The first 120 credits follow the syllabus of the Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EduQual level 4).
The remaining 120 credits are at level 5, and are split into 4 units. Two of these units are specialist units in electrical and electronic engineering. The third is a core topic in Engineering Management.
The fourth unit is worth 60 credits, and is a substantial engineering project on an electrical and electronic engineering topic.
Find out more about the units you will study below:
Level 4
Core Units
Engineering Design and Ethics – to help you to develop your engineering design skills.
Engineering Maths – so that you develop your mathematical skills that you will need to succeed with the rest of your course.
Engineering Science – to give you a grounding in the science that underpins the engineering that you will study.
Specialist Units
Electrical & Electronic Engineering Principles – This unit introduces you to properties and characteristics of electrical supplies and semiconductors. While the Electronic section focuses on Analogue and Digital signals, amplifiers and logic gates.
Electrical Machines – Here you begin to study simple robots, construction and applications of Transformers, Motors and Generators so that you can make informed decisions within the engineering context.
+1 Optional Unit – You will have access to a range of optional units, so that you can study topics that interest you. These may even lie outside the field of electrical engineering such as mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering.
Level 5
Core Units
Research Skills and Project Management [60 credits] – This is a significant engineering project that you will undertake. We will firstly give you the tools and knowledge on how projects are managed. You will then deliver a project brief, and progress to lead a complex, independent, and engineering related research project. In doing this, you will develop your ability to apply critical thinking skills to analyse engineering scenarios.
Engineering Management for Professionals – here you will learn the important tools and responsibilities of being in a management position within the engineering industry. You will learn skills such as Project Management and cost and risk analysis, But also the wider social and economic impacts of engineering companies.
Specialist Units
Digital Engineering and Electronic Circuits – In this unit you will focus on the number systems used in logic gates, characteristics and mechanisms of amplifiers and oscillators, testing methods and computer simulations.
Renewable Energy Electrical Systems where you gain an understanding of the requirements between transducer and controllers, current energy demand, control techniques for renewable energy systems and how they are integrated into the grid. The unit will also explore environmental impacts and limitations of sustainable energy systems
To be awarded a Higher International Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EduQual Level 5), you must successfully complete the above 240 credits.
Is it fully accredited?
Yes. All our courses are fully accredited by a UK awarding body, EduQual.
EduQual is a regulated awarding body, approved by SQA-Accreditation, and a globally-recognised national qualifications regulator in the UK. They are a full member of the Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB).
Are there any entry requirements?
As this qualification starts with the level 4 Higher International Certificate, there are no formal entry requirements. We will teach you the required maths and science skills necessary to be successful on the rest of the qualification.
All our courses are delivered in English language, so you must be competent in learning technical information in English.
How long will it take to complete?
Typically, most learners take between 2 and 4 years when studying on a part time basis.
However, as these are distance learning engineering courses, you are in control of your own learning schedule and so you have the freedom to complete the course in your own timescale. Therefore our online engineering courses can be completed more quickly depending on your existing commitments and/or your existing knowledge.
How am I assessed?
All of our units are assessed by 100% written assignments. There are no exams to sit.

“I successfully graduated my Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The studies was good, tutor provide much support. I recommend iLearn Engineering for distance learning Engineering studies.”
Fuad, Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering“So far, in two weeks study I have understood more content with these guys than in one year at part time university. Really good content especially in maths and makes learning a nice smooth progressive path rather than being rushed and pressured. Top notch service 👍”
Simon, Higher International Certificate in Mechanical Engineering“This program is providing me with the opportunity to finally finish my engineering degree at the most reasonable cost I’ve seen in the market to date…I highly recommend iLearn Engineering for anyone who wants to get into the field or pickup where they left off.”
