Credits towards other qualifications

The National College is working in partnership with higher education institutions (HEIs) to enable the learning and skills that participants gain through some National College programmes to contribute towards other qualifications.

Gaining credits towards a Master's level degree

We have initially started working with HEIs in gaining Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) points for our participants towards Master's level degrees.

Details of the programmes that this applies to, the HEIs that we are working in partnership with, and the number of credit points available can be found on the Higher education partners page.

For information on credit points and how to use them please see our guidance document.
