If you allready have a HND then i can understand, however, many techncians out there do not have any formal vocational qualifications, Similarly techs who may have achieved level 3 but wish to atain the next level or techs that have completed a course many years ago that wish to be updated in their knowledge.

The cost of the course is in line with other degree courses and the price set by the University, the availability of grants and loans is quite unique.

the alternative to level 4/5 may well be the new range of level 3 vocational courses that are mapped directy to the National occupational standards that eastwood park are also delivering?
