Talk:Higher National Certificate

message: I completed an ONC in 1976 and started HNC the same year, unfortunately recurring health problems delayed my completion until 1982 by which time it had mutated into the Technician Education Council Higher Certificate. That's what it says on my certificate. I think this only existed for 2 years from 1980-82, having been preceded and succeded by HNC. I had colleagues who had studied prior to and after me with HNC's and I was stuck with a lame qualification which no-one had heard of. I don't think it helped my career prospects at the time, although after a lifetime of study I have no complaints, My question is were many other people blighted by this weird abberation that baffled potential employers?2.29.122.123 (talk) 22:12, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Technician Education Council Higher Certificate 

message: The above sections gave some history of this qualification. I wonder whether people in the know can create a coherent history section? I have recently purchased from a secondhand bookshop, Mathematics for Higher National Certificate (2 volumes) by Bell and Matley, which were for the Engineering syllabus in the 1950s and 1960s. The mathematics content is certain higher than that of present day A-level maths and further maths. It was also higher than the A-level maths and further maths syllabus (including that of the S-paper) of 1984. So I should think it was at least the maths level of a first and (part) second year engineering degree course. 81.156.171.202 (talk) 02:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  History? 

message: I did a Chemistry HNC in the 80's and we did the chemistry theory in the same class as the HND students (9am until 8pm). The other days the HND'ers did their lab work while the HNC students went to work (in labs). I always thought they were the same qualification, just PT and FT. Oh and on the table NVQ level 5 is listed as a level 7 and 6? It cant be both!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.48.148.181 (talk) 06:18, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
