Programmes

The UK education system follows the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which categorizes qualifications based on their complexity, depth of learning, and credit weightage. The framework ensures that students and professionals can clearly understand their educational progression and how their qualifications align with further studies or employment opportunities.

We are dedicated to making higher education accessible and enjoyable to everyone and our courses cover one module at a time, allowing you to become a specialist in each topic before moving onto the next. Our educational qualifications are structured into different levels to indicate their complexity and depth. Below is a breakdown of the common qualification levels from foundation to the highest academic achievements. Each qualification level is assigned a credit value, indicating the amount of learning required.

Bachelors Degree Foundation Level

The Foundation Level provides essential knowledge and skills for students who may not meet direct entry requirements for higher education. It prepares students for diploma-level study or entry into undergraduate degree programs. Typically completed in 3-6 months duration. Successful completion allows students to progress HNC course

Bachelors Degree Semester 1 (HNC)

The HNC is a Level 4 qualification equivalent to the first year of a degree. It provides practical and industry-relevant skills, allowing students to enter the workforce or progress to an HND or degree program. To achieve this qualification level, students must complete 120 credits, equating to approximately 1,200 learning hours.

Bachelors Degree Semester 2 (HND)

The HND is a multi qualification that is more in-depth than the HNC. It is widely recognized as level 5 qualification by employers and universities and can lead to advanced entry into bachelor’s degree programs. This qualification requires 120 credits, amounting to 1,200 learning hours. Upon completion, students can gain direct entry into the final year of a bachelor's degree at a university.

Masters Degree Semester 1( PGD )

This qualification is designed for students who want to gain advanced knowledge, strategic skills, and leadership abilities. It requires 120 credits, whereas a full Master’s Degree typically requires 180 credits. After completing this qualification, students can progress to an MBA or master’s degree by completing a dissertation or research project at university.

This credit system allows for flexibility and progression, enabling students to transfer their credits toward higher-level qualifications at UK and international universities.

Our teaching methods are varied, offering a number of teaching styles to suit the needs of our students, so in addition to lectures, we also utilise a blended learning approach, including online aspects, workshops and group work. Additional support is available via email and our online learning platform.

Progression through the modules develops knowledge and skills, including communication (written and oral), study skills, research methods, project management, presentation and career development. We will also encourage you to consider your employability and/or entrepreneurial development.

Unlike traditional institutions, there are no end of year exams. Instead, learning is assessed through coursework and phase tests, which is more reflective of our learning model. You can expect up to 20 hours of learning activities per week, made up of face-to-face teaching, individual and group tutorials, online classes and independent learning.

The learning outcomes of modules, assignments and projects will be clearly stated. Your work will be marked according to how well you achieve these learning outcomes and your feedback will refer to each outcome and your academic skills, as well as providing an overall percentage grade.
