Pearson BTECs provide progression into the workplace either directly or via study at university and are also designed to meet employer’s needs. Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications are therefore widely recognised by industry and higher education as the principal technical professional qualification at Levels 4 and 5.  \nThe Pearson BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) is at level 4 (the same as the first year of a UK honours degree).  \nThe Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) is at level 4 and level 5 (the same as the first two years of a UK honours degree).  \nA word from our subject expert  \nIt’s with great pleasure that I introduce the new Higher National in Music programme. Teaching and working in the creative industries for many years, has given me the opportunity to see first hand the life changing opportunities education can provide, and we have worked very hard to ensure this new qualification offers the content and learning opportunities to offer students the opportunity to further their education and career goals.  \nThe programme is more aligned to UKHE and new updated content will make it both a stimulating and exciting experience for students and teachers. Centres can deliver with confidence a programme that will prepare and equip students for working in the Music Industry  \nI am here to provide guidance, advice and support on every aspect of the programme and its implementation and will welcome your views and feedback. I will be posting news and updates on the HN Global forum so please get registered and join the online discussions.   \nI look forward to working with you!  \nFiona  \nProfessional courses developed collaboratively with subject experts  \nWith input from industry, employers, professional bodies, tutors, students, and higher education institutions, your new Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals have been designed to better meet the needs of a changing market. The result is a qualification suite designed and developed to meet professional standards, recognised by employers and universities, which develop not only academic skills and abilities, but work-readiness skills.  \nThe objectives of the redevelopment of the BTEC Higher Nationals have been to ensure:  \n• employer engagement;  \n• work relatedness;  \n• opportunities for progression to further higher education;  \n• alignment with UK higher education expectations;  \n• qualifications which are up to date with current professional practice and include professional accreditation and opportunities to gain vendor certification where possible.  \nWhat’s new?  \n• Essential subject knowledge needed by Music students to progress successfully into further study or to the world of work or continued employment;  \n• A simplified structure students undertake a substantial core of learning, building on this in the Higher National Diploma, with specialist and optional units linked to their specialist area of study;  \n• Four specialist pathways at level 4 along with one general so there is something to suit each student’s preference for study and future progression plans;  \n• Seven specialist pathways at level 5 to allow for students to further specialise in preparation for progression plans.  \n• Refreshed content that is closely aligned with professional bodies’, employers’and higher education needs for a skilled future workforce;  \n• Assessments that cons","cbCaiuk3ud0Px4pC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuk3ud0Px4pC","pdf",1072309,"English","# Introducing your new Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Music\n## What’s new?\n## Flexible choice of subject areas and progression opportunities\n## Credit and study structure (HNC and HND)","[{\"question\":\"What are the first teaching and first certification dates for this Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Music guide?\",\"answer\":\"First teaching is from September 2018, and first certification is from 2019.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the difference between the Pearson BTEC Higher National Certificate (HNC) and Diploma (HND)?\",\"answer\":\"The HNC is a Level 4 qualification, while the HND is at Levels 4 and 5.
