As the designer of the Kingston FD in medical technology (medical equipment pathway), this course is based on the arborfield course format/subjects. A Two years distance learning course, with around 150 students passed and present and over a third of each course going onto join a Kingston Hon program for final year. Students ideally should be employed within the industry.
Original concept of the FD was for it to replace HNC/HND, a bit like an OU course in the workplace, but surprise surprise after 5 years the FD is dying out and it's head 'the foundation degree forward' now cut off...
I have yet to come across a better suited course set at the right level than the Arborfield Med and Dent course, a practical based course with a strict entry requirement .
