The HND in Equine Performance offers an alternative, shorter and more cost effective route for you to gain a higher qualification and enter the Equine industry.
This programme is designed to be stimulating and challenging, and offer study that is both engaging and memorable. Modules include Horse Husbandry, Management of Equine facilities, Equestrian Performance, Horse and Human Relationship, Research Project, Equine Therapy and Rehabilitation, Advanced Equine Performance, and Horse Event Management.
Higher National Certificates (HNCs) are Level 4 qualifications, and Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) are Level 5 qualifications. They fall between A Levels, T Levels and other vocational Level 3 courses; and Level 6 courses such as bachelor degrees.
Some HNCs and HNDs are classified as Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs). HTQs are 'quality approved' courses, recognised by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) to have met the knowledge and skills needed by the sector. They are marked by the HTQ logo.
Benefits of HNCs and HNDs
Cost effective, shorter study: As HNCs and HNDs are shorter than traditional degrees with a lower annual fee, they can offer a quicker and more cost effective alternative to study.
Independent Study: Apprenticeships and HNCs/HNDs are designed to the same standard, however each will suit different learning styles. A HNC/HND may be for you if you are settled in a job and do not feel you need additional pastoral support, or if you鈥檙e looking to train around your existing position.
