  • A Higher National Certificate (HNC) is a higher education qualification in the United Kingdom. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the HNC is a BTEC qualification awarded by Edexcel, and in Scotland, an HNC is a Higher National awarded by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. A small subset of HNC/HND qualifications issued prior to 1999, are deemed equivalent to bachelor's degree level. The attainment level of the rest is roughly equivalent to two years of university and a Certificate of Higher Education but being the same as that of a Higher National Diploma (HND) and one below that of a bachelor's degree. Studied fulltime, the qualification normally takes one year or two years part time. Many HNC's cover the same areas as an HND and it is often possible to complete an HND with one year full-time study after successfully completing the HNC. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, a HNC (previously a level 4 qualification) is now Level 5 on the National Qualifications Framework. In Scotland, an HNC is Level 7 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework.
