Students must be 18 or over and should have studied to ‘A’ Level or Advanced GNVQ/VCE standard and/or should be able to demonstrate evidence of relevant experience in a commercial environment.

All applications from mature candidates, continuing professional development seekers and from candidates with qualifications other than A Levels/BTEC are encouraged and will be given full consideration.
Progression & Assessment
Students’ work on the BTEC HNC/D course is assessed via a programme of continuous assessment. Assignments will vary in format and will include individual course work, group work and in-class activities.
Students who successfully complete 8 Higher National units will be awarded the BTEC Higher National Certificate in Business. Successful completion of 16 units will lead to the award of a BTEC Higher National Diploma in Business.
The HNC and HND are widely recognised qualifications in their own right, but they also provide students with access to a range of University degree programmes, and exemption is normally awarded from the first year, or first two years of the degree, depending on the grades achieved and subjects studied at HNC/HND level.
Students wishing to convert their HNC to a Higher National Diploma (HND) can do so at Lincoln College by studying an additional 8 units.
Duration & Location
HNC/HND will run on either a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon between 1.00 and 7.00 pm.
These courses start mid September.
Fees
There is no up front charge for the HNC or HND in Business, meaning you do not have to pay any course fees when you enrol.
A Tuition fee of £2750 per year will apply, however you will be eligible for a student loan to cover this cost. This will only be repaid when you earn in excess of £21000 per year and will be written off after 30 years.
