About the course

NQF accreditations held and/or history of successful delivery in this subject area at this level to support this application:

NorthTec has delivered bridging and foundation programmes for in excess of twenty years. Until now delivery has been up to and including level 3, with students progressing into subject specific level 4 and above programmes. Recently it has become apparent that some students have difficulty stepping up from a level 3 programme, to the first year of a degree which is typically at level 5. This programme is intended to make that step achievable for a greater number of students.
