I said HND not HNC, they are not the same.

Nice link Geoff, So as you can see if you are studying a HNC you are most likely working as well, and so this qualifies as your "hands on" experience. Whereas in a HND you are most likely not working and so the tutors (should) usually endeavour to include as much practical work as possible.

Should they be paid at all? They should be grateful for the work these days. We have 99 redundances coming here. In the hospital not the department. We just have a few frozen posts which is effectively the same problem. Robert
