Entry requirements for each course will vary depending on the level and subject you wish to study. For an NQ level 5 course up to 5 National 4 qualifications may be required, while for an HNC/D level course you may need one or more Highers or a relevant NQ or equivalent. Other courses may expect you to be currently employed in that area such as PDAs.
The entry requirements listed are based on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). You can find out more about the SCQF at www.scqf.org.uk
