Our Higher National qualifications provide both the practical skills you need to do a job and the theoretical knowledge your employer will expect you to have.

Our Higher National courses are nationally recognised and awarded by leading awarding bodies such as NCFE, CIOL, SQA. Our Advanced Diploma/certificate qualifications are designed to equip you with the knowledge, understanding and skills required for success in current and future employment in a management and leadership role or progression to further academic and/or professional qualifications.

These qualifications don’t just qualify you for work. Some Advanced Certificates allow direct entry into the second year of a degree programme, and some Advanced Diplomas allow direct entry to the third year. Possessing an Advance Certificate or Advance Diploma can also give you entry to a number of professional bodies. So whether you want to go straight into a job, or continue your studies, getting a Higher National qualification is a good place to start. We welcome applications from any individuals who are 18 or over at the start of the programme and have the ability to study at a higher level.
