Higher Technical Qualifications

What are Higher Technical Qualifications? 

Watch our film about Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs):

Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) are new or existing Level 4 and 5 qualifications such as Higher National Certificates (HNCs), Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) and foundation degrees. They are an alternative to apprenticeships or degrees and provide a more practical, skills-based path to a rewarding career for those looking to upskill, retrain, or gain a qualification.

Approved courses show the HTQ quality mark logo. 

Our HTQ courses

We have an exciting range of HTQs, including Level 4 courses. These courses are specialised and developed by awarding bodies in collaboration with employers to provide students with the necessary training, knowledge and skills needed for success in the workplace. Find out more information below.

Who are HTQs for?

HTQs are for students who are aged 18 and over, and looking to study a subject to prepare them for a specifically skilled job in a particular sector, such as business, IT, legal and accounts and finance. However, HTQs are also suitable for adults looking to change careers, retrain or upskill in their current job role.

They can also be used as a launchpad into further study or training. There are no restrictions for students who already hold a qualification, such as a degree or qualification completed as an apprenticeship.  

Free HTQ modules

We are also delighted to offer one fully-funded module on our HND in Leadership and Management HTQ, providing students with an opportunity to upskill in topics of interest. On completion of a module students will gain a Pearson certificate at the relevant level and up to 30 credits. Find out more information below.

*These modules are being funded by the government therefore learners will not need to pay tuition fees. Learners aged between 19 and 60 are eligible for the modules. There are no restrictions for learners who already hold a qualification, such as a degree or qualification completed as an apprenticeship.
