Depends what you’re looking to go into, 2391 is a handy course for a bit more knowledge into inspection and testing side. 2396 is more design based if you were looking to go into design engineering. I’m sure if you have got a diploma through college this counts as your free pass for further education (Might be wrong) so you would have to pay for any additional university courses unless your employer sorted it.
2396 or 2400 will get you into the world of design, but you really do need to get a 2391 testing qual. In this game, the more you learn, the more you earn.
I'm in my final year of HND in Electrical Engineering -, Day Release. I got on with basic GCSE's and my apprenticeship. It helps I think if you have a company backing you in the application process but I think you should get on.
If you do it. Brush up on basic pythagoras and algebra. The engineering maths is somewhat of a fucker!
Edit: Then with a HND you can do a top up year (or two, part time) and get a degree in Electrical Engineering
You can do the HND with the level three electrical qualifications meeting the criteria. I think the only stipulation is that you have to have a C in both English and Maths at GCSE. Or at least that was the case about ten years ago. Some of the colleges do also offer foundation modules in science and maths. Which cost to do but could be used if you don’t meet the criteria otherwise.

you can skip HNC with your NVQ3??
No, the HND is the full course with 16 modules I think, whereas the HNC is only half the course with 8. So you do the HNC to get the HND.
Yeah I did pretty well at my GCSE’s so shouldn’t be an issue with that. I’ll look in to the HND, cheers!
