Course summary
The Higher National Qualification framework provides students with the necessary skills and competence for the workplace or further higher education. The HTQs are divided into Core and Specialist units, similar to the previous higher national certificate, and are and are assessed though a number of assignments. Our program offers a variety of specialised units to cater to each student's unique interests and future career plans. These units prioritise the development of both employability skills and foundational knowledge, fostering confidence in a range of functions. Additionally, we equip our students with an understanding of culturally diverse organisations, cross-cultural issues, and diversity and values. This allows for flexible study options that meet local and specialised needs. These qualifications are divided into sector-specific categories, such as:
- Construction management
- Architectural technology
- Modern methods of construction.
This Higher Technical Qualification is approved against occupational standards decided by employers. Learn more about Higher Technical Qualifications.
