I will how ever continue to have a dialogue with those who have contacted me personally and wish to develop their career Its been a short time on here but im not accepting the accusation of lying by anyone !!!
Down here in Yorkshire and on Teeside where I did my 1st and only year of the degree before I left the company ONC was 2 years day release OND was 2 years full time HNC was 2 years day release and HND was 2 years full time, I did the 2 years, 1 day and another evening for the ONC at Scarborough...
Perhaps things have changed from back in 1995 when I returned to "education" I had done a 5 year apprenticeship with City and Guilds, I then had to do a 2 year ONC which I had to have an interview for before being offered a place, a further 2 years for the HNC

I will prepare to hide behind the 3 piece but I can back this up with nearly 34 years experience and 18 years coming up next purely from my apprenticeship and subsequent HNC achieved from the age of 25-29 !!! and now a salary that clearly defines that investment in my and my families life style...
@Burdekin The best thing I ever did was completing my HNC with Student of the entire Year award, I wouldn't worry about HND employers take far more from some one who has taken the plunge to do an HNC alongside a day time role than some one who has gone the full time role and gone HND it...
