National Qualifications / National Certificates / City and Guilds

These are normally one year, full-time courses at non-advanced level. Many require no, or few, entry qualifications and are equally suitable for those returning to study or looking for a first step up from school education. Many students completing these courses are successful in finding jobs, while others choose to further their education and progress to related non-advanced courses or to Higher National Certificate or Diploma level.

Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQ)

SVQs are available to people of all ages and at all stages of their careers. They are designed in consultation with employers and are based on standards set directly by the relevant industry. As a result, they are a guarantee of ability to do a job of work to a high standard. They are made up of units designed to be assessed in the workplace and are available at five different levels.

Professional Development Awards (PDAs)

PDAs are designed for people who are already in a career or vocation who wish to extend or broaden their skills base. PDAs can comprise HN, VQ and workplace - assessed units.

Higher National Certificate and Higher National Diploma (HNC / HND)

HNCs and HNDs are widely respected by employers and are recognised by many professional and technical bodies. They are accepted for entry to many degree courses, often directly into the second or third year. Both qualifications comprise Higher National units. These can be taken through full or part-time learning and some are also available on a flexible learning basis.

Degree (eg. BA or BSc)

These are advanced courses of study lasting between 3 and 5 years. An appropriate HNC may allow entry into year 1 or 2 of a degree, while a relevant HND may allow you to progress directly into year 2 or 3.


QUALIFICATIONS EXPLAINED

Whatever your goal, it’s important to have the right qualifications. Being well trained and having a recognised qualification is vital if you want to start a job, improve your career or go to university.

The Association requires post holders to represent the views of the student body on various committees. This can be your direct opportunity to make changes for the good of your fellow students. You could also start a club or society if you are interested in something. Current clubs include, Amnesty International Society, Film Club and sports groups.

Class Reps Each class has one or two students elected to represent the views of the group in meetings with College staff. This will benefit you not only at College, but will allow you to develop useful skills which will help in your search for employment or further study.

Focus Groups The Principal and Senior Management Team may invite you to take part in discussion groups about the college and your learning experience.

You Said We Did The College responds to all suggestions and comments and a range of these are displayed on the College plasma screens so you can see the evidence of our actions.
