Get the Technical Skills That Employers Want.
What are Higher Technical Qualifications?
Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQ) are Level 4 and 5 qualifications that sit between A/T Level and Degrees. They have been developed in partnership with awarding bodies, employers and businesses to ensure learners get the specific training, knowledge and skills they need for their chosen careers.
The newly approved Digital qualifications start from September 2022, with additional subjects launching in 2023, including Construction, Health and Science.
What can I expect from the programme?
Higher Technical Qualifications are an excellent option for individuals aged 18+ looking to take their next steps in education but looking for an alternative to a degree or Apprenticeship. The qualification is also open to adult learners looking to upskill and gain qualifications to increase their job prospects or retrain.
At Fareham College, students learn in industry-standard facilities supported by expert teachers. The qualifications are primarily classroom-based, and there will be a requirement for written assignments.
