A number of Higher National (HN) awards are currently being reviewed. These are:

• HNC/D Information Technology (led by Chris Deegan of Glasgow Met.)
• HNC/D Interactive Media (led by Fiona Murnin of New College Lanarkshire)
• HNC/D Computer Games Development (led by Gill Flockart of Ayrshire College).

Each development is at a different stage but all are well underway. Progress has been slower than I had hoped, mainly as a result of staff changes within SQA. I intend to meet with each of the lead developers in the coming weeks to review progress. As soon as I do I will post an update on this blog.

In addition to these reviews, we are also developing two new HNCs:

• HNC Computer Science
• HNC Data Analytics.

The QDT has been formed and these developments are underway. I hope to have these new HNCs available to centres in the first half of this year.

Please contact Helen if you have specific queries about any of these developments.
