HTQs are technical qualifications that employers have helped to develop so that you can get the right training and skills you need to succeed at work. As well as studying the academic content of a standard HNC or HND programme the HTQ will also focus on the application of the working knowledge and skills required by industry.\

On successful completion of the HNQ, you will be eligible to enrol on the level 5 HND (HTQ).
