A HNC is the equivalent of the first year of uni. You probably want a full bachelor's degree if you intend to go into higher education.
A HNC is useful if you only want part of a degree or you don't really need a full degree.

There are various things to look into e.g.

What do you intend to do with the course/What do you intend to do after the course?

Why do you want to go into computer science?

Do you already have a degree? If so, what is it in?

What options have you looked into?

What do you requrie from the qualification?

What content do you want in a computer science course?

Although you have never done a computing course, what have you done so far in terms of IT related projects?
