Hi Techman,
Incorrect as far as Kingston offer access onto their higher degree programs. As far other Uni's are concerned, you would be in the same boat as anyone holding a HND.
This course is really aimed at those within the workplace who do not have or have not attained a level of education/training at level 4/5 (HND/FD) and those without any formal qualifications but with many years 'on the job experience' of which their are many out there who fit this category. There are those techncians who do not wish, for whatever reason, to sit in a classroom environment but would like the oppurtunity to gain a recognised qualification at this level.
This is not a competition between HND and FD they are both valid forms of vocational training, they just different in their format as previously explained.
