Higher Technical Qualifications at Kirklees College

Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) are a new classification of Level 4/5 qualifications that have been approved by employers from a range of key industries. HTQs bridge the gap between T Level/Level 3 study and a university degree and allow students aged 18 and above to gain a higher qualification that focuses on practical skills. They equate to 120 credits per year as university programmes.​
