HNC/HND Supply Chain Management

Higher National qualifications provide practical skills and theoretical knowledge that meet the needs of employers.

The HNC in Supply Chain Management (SCQF level 7) develops knowledge and skills in areas such as logistics, procurement, operations management and quality management. It will provide learners with a solid knowledge base on which to commence a career in supply chain management and/or progress to higher qualifications.

The HND in Supply Chain Management (SCQF level 8) builds on the knowledge and skills of the HNC and involves a more strategic application of all aspects of the supply chain.

Both the HNC and HND are appropriate to supply chain management in the manufacturing and service sectors.

These qualifications are available through colleges. Typically, an HNC takes one year to complete and an HND takes two years.
