Real, hands-on qualifications developed with industry
BTEC Higher Nationals are professional / technical higher education qualifications, recognised as equivalent to the first two years of a degree. Delivered at both universities and colleges in 58 countries around the world, they are an ideal choice for students seeking an affordable and relevant route to a degree or employment.
We're working with business and industry to develop qualifications at levels 4 and 5 that address skills gaps.
