These are new higher education awards designed to equip individuals with the academic knowledge and skills needed by employers. They have been developed in collaboration with employers and will all involve work-based and work-related learning. Most of the courses will be offered on a part time basis so that students can 'earn and learn'. To enable this, some parts of the courses will be delivered via the web and through distance learning.
