Through this agreement, institutions retain full autonomy over all aspects of the programme, including delivery, assessment, quality assurance, awarding, and certification.  \nUnder this arrangement, Pearson is the licensor of the trademark ‘Higher Nationals,’ permitting approved institutions to design and deliver their own Higher National programmes, as well as use our content directly.  \nWhy do Partners Choose to Deliver Under the Licence Agreement?  \nThere are a range of reasons why institutions partner with Pearson via Licensed Higher Nationals , which include, but are not limited to:  \n1. Market‑recognised qualifications: partners deliver widely recognised, employer‑valued Higher Nationals with established progression routes to degrees.  \n2. Speed and flexibility: Pearson qualifications allow partners to respond quickly to skills needs without developing their own awards from scratch.  \n3. Clear progression pathways: Higher Nationals support progression to full honours degrees (often via top‑up), enhancing student recruitment and outcomes.  \n4. Global credibility: Higher Nationals is a credible brand that is widely recognised not only in the UK, but across the world.  \n5. Maintaining Brand Integrity and Flexibility: Partners participating in the Licensed Higher National programme enjoy the flexibility to tailor their offerings while preserving the recognised quality and standards of the Higher National brand. This approach ensures the provision of practical, skills-focused training that meets the needs of both students and employers, ultimately supporting the growth and development of local and regional economies.  \nHistory and Growth of the Programme  \nSince the inception of the Higher National licence agreement in 2004, more than 180,000 students have engaged with Pearson’s Higher Nationals through partnerships with over 30 universities and 77 Further Education subsites.  \nFuture Vision  \nSupported by a robust network of partners and stakeholders, Pearson aims for this unique offering to become the leading choice for HEIswishing to strengthen their level 4 and 5 programmes. The agreement is designed to increase participation, offer flexible and skills-based learning pathways for students, and address existing skills gaps in the workforce.  \nWhat is the Annual Institutional Review Report?  \nThe Annual Institutional Review Report (IRR) is an important part of our quality assurance and governance framework. It gathers anonymised student and sector data from partners to inform analysis of trends, challenges, and opportunities in higher education.
