HTQs are technical qualifications that employers have helped develop so students get the right training and skills needed to succeed at work, and they have been designed to meet new occupational standards for the relevant sectors. There are several different types of HTQs, such as:
- Higher National Diplomas (HND)
- Higher National Certificates (HNC)
- Foundation Degrees
- Higher Education Diplomas
HTQs are Level 4 and 5 qualifications that have been approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. They are a great route for those who have studied T Levels at college. This year, Oaklands College will be offering HTQs in Engineering, IT, Healthcare, Sport, and Construction, with other subjects to come over the coming years.
