    hey,
    i was just wondering if a Higher National Diploma is the same as an Advanced Certificate????

    If not could anyone tell me what the difference is?
    They are both 2 years long so I cant really see what the difference is between them??!!

    thanks!

    A Higher National Diploma (HND) is a UK Edexcel (BTEC) qualification while an Advanced Cert is an Irish qualification at Level 6 on the Irish Framework. The HND is mapped over to the Ireish Framework at Level 6.

    The Irish Framework has 10 levels while the UK framework has only 8 so there have been mapped (matched up).
