There are many courses you can take to HNC level.

The next level up is the HND (Diploma) though I suspect they are even harder to find.
If my memory isn't failing me, HNC is usually obtained by part time study whereas HND is full time.

I did an HNC course on day release from my first job after leaving school back in ye olde days.

Same here Steve.

I did my HNC on day release while my day job was working with an RAF trained photographer.

You can guess which one I learned more from!

Thanks all

Andrew - the Dr Who figures belong to my 9 yr old son but I must admit to loving that programme since a child - even more so since the appearance of a certain Mr David Tennant

Folker - sorry for presuming that everyone knows the UK education system!

Mike - The Met in Glasgow does the HND and have just added a degree level!
