Study at your own pace and earn as you learn.
An HNC is made up of 12 credits and would take about a year to complete. An HND is made up of 30 credits and would take about two years to complete. As a part-time, distance-learning course, an HNC or HND will probably take you about the same time depending on the study hours you have available. However, don’t worry. There’s no pressure or timetable and no classes to attend. You have the flexibility to study anywhere and in your own time. You can continue with your present job to earn while you learn!
Flexibility and choice.
Each course consists of mandatory credits, but there are also some areas where you can make specialist choices, depending on whether you prefer HR to Marketing, for example. Please look at the listing for each qualification later in this section to see what subject areas are covered.
What you can do with an HNC or HND
As already mentioned, because HNCs and HNDs were developed with employers and industry in mind, they are an excellent way to improve your job prospects and increase your earning potential. Research has shown that people with a qualification at this level typically earn up to double than those without.
In addition, because HNCs and HNDs are part of the National Qualifications Framework and recognised in the National Qualifications Authority, they may, in some cases also allow you entry into more advanced study at college and university in the second or final year. The credits you earn really add up and tell the world you are an achiever!
