Students taking a BTEC Higher National can expect to complete a thorough and engaging programme of study, which will equip them with the higher-level skills and competencies in their chosen discipline.  \nThis reflects the requirements of professional organisations and, where appropriate, meets the requirements for National Occupational Standards (NOS) for each sector or industry.  \nPearson BTEC Higher Nationals are available as Higher National Certificates (HNCs) at level 4 and Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) at level 5. They are internationally recognised qualifications with the potential for career progression and professional membership,","cbCaigL4iJ3CWTwM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigL4iJ3CWTwM","pdf",951871,"English","# Introduction\n## What are BTEC Higher Nationals?\n## What is the Pearson Licence Agreement?\n## Pearson Intellectual Property Licence\n## Pearson Trademark Licence\n## Developing your own higher-level qualifications\n## Becoming a Pearson Licensed Higher National Centre\n## Collaborative Arrangements\n## Licensed Higher Technical qualifications (HTQs)\n## Licensed Higher Nationals for International Universities\n## Review and approval of Higher Nationals under the Licence\n## Student Registrations and Completions\n## Grading, Awarding and Certification\n## Quality Assurance\n## Marketing and Promotion of Higher Nationals under Licence\n## Named contact\n## Support\n## Service Operations\n# Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What are BTEC Higher Nationals and what qualifications do they include?\",\"answer\":\"Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals are higher-level qualifications designed to support progression into employment or to completing a degree.
