Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs)
We launched Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) in September in digital, construction and health. Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) are specialist technical courses developed with employers and delivered by industry experts.
HTQs have been developed in partnership with employers and are delivered by industry experts and focus on the skills, knowledge and behaviours that are in-demand by employers. They can also act as a stepping stone to further study, such as an apprenticeship or undergraduate degree.
By completing an HTQ you will also achieve a Level 4 or 5 qualification in your subject area. We also offer HNCs and HNDs which can be done on a part time basis.
Community Courses
We also offer community courses both at our college locations and via distance/online learning. We develop and roll out our courses with our local partners to ensure we are responsive to the needs of our local communities and courses range from building self-esteem to improving creativity, British sign language to flower arranging, cookery to hand sewing and much, much more.
Commercial Courses
Finally, we also support employers with a range of commercial courses after listening to the needs of these local employers with regard to training courses that employers would like to see offered for their staff.
These include courses such as IOSH, NEBOSH, Warehousing, First Aid at Work, Manual Handling, Team Leading, Equality and Diversity, CAD, Care Planning, Counselling Skills and Customer Service.
