HND validations

Those of you who follow the HN Review blog will know the outcome of the recent validation event for the revised HNDs in Computing. In short, the awards were validated with conditions. Quite a lot of conditions asctually, but nothing that the Qualification Development Team can't deal with.

The big change was a new name for the proposed HND Computing, which will now be called HND Computer Science, to better match developments in the school sector. So, the new HNDs will be called:

1. HND Computing: Technical Support

1. HND Computing: Networking

1. HND Computing: Software Development

1. HND Computer Science.

We hope to have these new awards available to centres from Spring 2013. Contact Caroline for more information.
