The UK construction industry faces a continuing shortage of qualified quantity surveyors, as demand grows for professionals who can control costs, manage contracts, and ensure value for money on increasingly complex projects.
The new Pearson HNC Quantity Surveying (HTQ) at the University campus Oldham is an industry-recognised Higher Technical Qualification, designed with employers to address the growing demand for cost and commercial management skills in construction. It combines technical knowledge with practical, real-world application, preparing students to manage budgets, contracts, and value across projects.
The programme offers direct progression to employment, higher apprenticeships, and/or further study at Level 5 – HND or Level6 – Degree.
Students should choose it to gain career-focused training that builds confidence, enhances employability, and opens pathways to professional recognition in one of the UK’s most vital built environment roles.
This Higher Technical Qualification is approved against occupational standards decided by employers.
