Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs)

WHAT ARE HTQs?

HOW DO HTQs WORK?

With an HTQ, students study while they have a job. They gain valuable workplace experience while increasing their career prospects. Students study in their own time for 10 hours each week with two hours of recorded or live lessons. It’s completely flexible.
