The Office for Students (OfS) is proposing to separate higher technical qualifications (HTQs) from other Level 4 and 5 qualifications in our student outcomes measures.
Outcomes data for students on new higher technical qualifications (HTQs) is currently grouped with data for other Level 4 and 5 courses. This consultation proposes to separate out HTQs as an additional split indicator. Doing so will allow the OfS, other regulators, the government and anyone else with an interest to assess how providers are delivering positive outcomes for students on these courses.
You can view full details of our proposals in the
consultation document on our website.
Who is this survey for?
We are particularly (but not only) interested in hearing from
staff, academics and leaders at higher education providers that will be subject to our regulation of HTQs. We welcome the views of all types and size of provider.
