Proposed HNC/D Frameworks

The development teams have been busy over the summer period pulling together the revised HNC/D frameworks and making any last minute tweaks to each of the draft documents.

There has been a lot of discussions around the design of the awards and making sure we have five unique awards to take to validation. We also had to ensure that there was a certain amount of overlap to allow flexability and movement between awards given we now have one generic HNC.

The frameworks have been uploaded to a file sharing site for you to view:  To access click on the links below:

HNC Computing Framework
HND Computing Framework
HND Computing: Software Development Framework
HND Computing: Technical Support Framework
HND Computing: Networking Framework

You will notice that we have added a third group (Group 3) to each of the frameworks for direct accreditation of vendor courses (pending appropriate SCQF credit and levelling).  Bobby provided an update on this vendor pilot in an earlier blog posting here.

Please note that the frameworks shared above are not the final versions (only final drafts) and there may be more tweaks following feedback from centres.
