HND frameworks

The QDT has been working hard on the HND frameworks over the last couple of months. We are developing four HNDs - one is new (HND Computing) and three are revisions to existing awards, although very major revisions. The HNDs are:

• HND Computing (new)
• HND Computing: Networking
• HND Computing: Technical Support
• HND Computing: Software Development.

Each award has its own Qualification Leader.

The frameworks are pretty mature now, so I am not expecting them to change a great deal prior to the validation event. You can download the frameworks here.

The HND Computing award is new, and is designed as a general qualification for students who don't want to specialise in any one aspect of the subject.



The QDT for this review is very large, with representatives from more than half of Scotland's colleges,  but it's not too late for you to provide feedback on the frameworks for the QDT's consideration at the next meeting (scheduled for late August). Please contact Caroline directly with feedback, and she will ensure that the QDT sees your comments.
