Facilitating the journey of lifelong learning
Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) sit at level 4 and level 5. They are quality marked by Skills England to show they meet national standards. They also offer clear progression from T Levels. Our qualifications support routes into work or further study at level 6 and help tackle the higher technical skills gap.
