Overview

The Higher National Diploma qualifications in engineering are designed to develop practical skills alongside specialist knowledge and understanding of the subject area. The HND is a level 5 qualification which is normally taken after a student has completed an HNC in Engineering.

It takes the knowledge the student already has achieved and develops it to a higher level. Unlike many degrees, these courses are vocationally focussed and therefore are more relevant to your chosen career. Moreover, they're a great stepping stone up to a higher qualification, as you can convert an HND to a full bachelor's degree, by just completing the 3rd year of a degree course.

Assessment activities have been carefully designed alongside additional self-study/work-place study, outside your taught sessions.

FAQs

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
