Autism is a condition which is as highly complex as it is common within our society. People who live with autistic spectrum conditions can be affected in many different ways with subtle differences present from case to case. There is no one particular type of autism with cases ranging from very mild to very severe. Throughout this qualification you will gain an understanding of the spectrum used to assert the height of particular autistic conditions, as well as how they can affect people in a myriad of ways. As well as exploring the importance of using a person-centred approach to...

There are nearly three million people currently living with diabetes in the UK and experts predict that this number will reach five million within the next twelve years. As the prevalence of diabetes continues to increase, the understanding of how to manage diabetes also needs to increase.By completing this qualification, you will improve and develop your knowledge and understanding to help provide the best care possible for people who are living with diabetes. You will also develop awareness of how the onset of Type 2 diabetes can be delayed with lifestyle changes.This course is split into manageable units, each which...

This Unit was developed for the HNC/HND Electronics Group Awards, or may be taken as a stand alone HN Unit. It has been designed to allow you to develop knowledge, understanding and skills associated with combinational logic, which is the basis of digital electronics and underpins more advanced work in this area of study. The early part of the unit deals with the basic elements of digital electronics and should provide you with a good grounding in this subject area. You will learn to interpret manufacturers data sheets for a range of TTL and CMOS devices, meaning you have the knowledge to select the most appropriate...

This Unit is designed to develop skills in analysing, summarising, evaluating, and producing complex written business information. It also develops skills in presenting and responding to complex oral business information. It enhances skills for learning, life and work and there is a particular emphasis on employability. The Unit can be taken as part of a Group Award or as a stand-alone Unit for the purposes of continued professional development. Work undertaken for the Unit will be in a context appropriate to the learner’s Group Award or relevant to an individual’s vocational area/discipline.The Unit embeds and provides automatic certification of the Core Skill of...

Conveying and responding to a range of information by reading, writing, listening and talking is the basis of communication. Effective oral and written communication skills are essential to promote good relationships and best working practice in a business environment. This is a Unit within the HNC/HND Mechanical Engineering or HNC Electronics Group Award, but may also be part of another Group Award or taken as a stand-alone HN Unit. It will focus on the practical approaches needed for successful communication, which will prove extremely valuable in your career progression and your performance in the workplace. Credit points and level: 1 HN credit at SCQF level 7:...

This is a mandatory Unit within PDA Group Awards, the HNC/HND Accounting Group Award, and may also be part of other HN group awards as optional or may be taken as a stand alone HN Unit. It is primarily aimed at those who expect to take up a career or further study in cost/management accounting, those who want to work in a supervisory/managerial role, and those with appropriate work experience looking to formalise their qualifications or progress in their accounting career.Credit points and level: 2 HN credits at SCQF level 7: (16 SCQF credit points at SCQF level 7)This unit will enable you to maintain a working...

This Unit was developed for the HNC/HND Electronics Group Awards or may be taken as a stand alone HN Unit. It has been designed to allow you to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in basic electrical and magnetic concepts and theorems, that underpin so much of more advanced studies in electronic and electrical engineering.A strong emphasis is placed on putting your theoretical knowledge - within a practical electronics and electrical context - into practice, as you will be provided with the opportunity to conduct practical experiments and computer simulations on electronic and electrical circuits. If you have studied these subjects before, the early...

The Unit is designed to enable candidates to know, understand and apply the basic concepts of digital electronics. It provides candidates with an opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills to be able to design and construct logic circuits to meet a design brief. On completion of the Unit candidates should be able to: Produce truth tables and associated Boolean expressions for logic gatesDesign combinational logic circuits using minimisation techniquesDescribe the operation of sequential logic circuitsConstruct logic circuitsThis Unit will allow you to develop knowledge, understanding and skills associated with digital electronics which is the basis of digital control systems and...
