The steady uptake of candidates, which has beenrecorded on an annual basis, indicates that they are mainly from the central belt ofScotland.The latest review of the HNC Automotive Engineering has taken place to takecognisance of the rapidly changing technology and increased use of electronicswithin modern vehicle designs, changes to the HN design principles anddevelopment of Core Skills. The technological advances and use of electronics hasstrongly influenced the Unit content. The structure of the award now fulfils therequirements of not just the original client group but offers opportunity to a widerclient base through the flexibly designed framework.This HNC Automotive Engineering award satisfies the following important criteria: 2.2Group Award framework comprises Units that are relevant to today’stechnology and the diagnostic skills required of a technicianthe framework meets the needs of varying client groups — candidates,employers, professional associations, colleges and training providersMarket research, consultation and development processTo ensure that the new qualification is vocationally relevant and meets the needs ofboth candidates and industry, market research and consultation was carried out bythe Qualifications Design Team (QDT) set up to oversee the development. The QDTalso made use of labour market intelligence and research findings published by theInstitute of the Motor Industry — the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for the sector. TheQDT met at key stages throughout the consultation and development process.Arrangements Document: HNC Automotive Engineering (G96Y 15)1
