Your BTEC Higher National – stepping stone to a degree
If you want to carry on studying after your Higher National, you can. Many of our students decide to do just that, and with a BTEC Higher National you can often go straight into the second or even third year of a related degree.

“Higher Nationals contain a lot of practical work as well as theory, which suited me. It allowed me to get hands-on experience, something which is important in this kind of work. Having something like that on my CV meant employers noticed me – I even had job offers because of it”
