Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) offer you a more hands-on, employer-led education than traditional apprenticeships or degrees.
Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) are level 4 and level 5 qualifications, such as Foundation Degrees, Higher National Certificates and Higher National Diplomas. They are an option for young people starting their career and for adults looking to upskill or retrain.
Who could a HTQ benefit?
- Adults seeking entry into skilled employment.
- Those already in a career but are seeking advancement.
- Adult learners who are returning to education after a gap
- School or college leavers (18+) who are looking for an alternative to a degree or an apprenticeship.
Employers are currently noticing huge technical skills gaps which means they are in looking for those who meet that criteria and are 'work ready' which the high-quality technical curriculum of a HTQ can offer.
From September 2023, we will offer a Construction HTQ that leads to Site Management or Modern Construction Methods. With a primary Focus on the use of digital technologies in the business.
Why choose a HTQ?
HTQs have been specifically developed with employers and businesses so that you’ll get the skills they’re looking for, to equip you for progression into high-skilled and highly paid jobs. Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) offer you a more hands-on, employer-led education than traditional degrees.
