The Diploma

Our Courses

These exciting new qualifications give you a real alternative to more traditional education and qualifications. As well as learning in the college environment you will spend time on workplace activities, visits and workshop projects. You will also get the chance to do work experience with an employer.

Diplomas are holistic qualifications, combining theoretical and practical learning and including project and functional skills. They are designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge and understanding needed for your career, further and higher education aims and long-term employability.

Studying for a Diploma means that you can keep your options open for the future, and explore areas of work and study that interest you without committing to a particular career. On successful completion, you can move to the next level diploma or you can transfer between diploma lines.

These exciting new qualifications, are being offered by NHC at every level in the following areas:

Progressing on from these we also offer local HE courses, e.g Foundation Degrees, as an associate college of the University of Hertfordshire.
