What are HTQs?
Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) are new or redesigned Level 4 and 5 qualifications (such as HNCs and HNDs) that have been approved against occupational standards in their sector. These qualifications have been developed by UK awarding bodies, working with employers and businesses to make sure that students get the specific training, knowledge and skills they need for their chosen career.
Your career and progression
The HNC/D qualification is widely recognised in its own right and provides students with the skills required for employment in a broad range of industries with either a managerial or technical bias.
After successfully completing the HND you could top up your qualification with our new Level 6 BEng (Hons) top-up degree (subject to validation) or a similar course at a wide range of HE providers.
Alternatively, you could pursue a career in research and development, design, technical sales and production.
