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.

Pearson Level 5 HND Electrical and Electronic Engineering for England (HTQ)
You should have successfully completed (or expect to achieve) the following:
- A relevant HNC with at least 10 units at Level 4 and 5
Mature students are welcome to apply but will still need to meet the entry criteria.
If applying from another institution, please note that the HNC qualification must have the same specification as the one here at Nottingham College.
Coursework is continually assessed through a variety of individual and group assignments, such as practical activities, written reports and presentations.
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.
Bursaries
We want our courses to be accessible to students from any background, so we’ve put together a cash support package in the form of non-repayable bursaries to provide financial help where it’s really needed. Check out our website for more information.
