HNC/D or foundation degree

[Waltho13]

Is there any major disadvantages of doing a hnc/d and not a foundation degree ? Also do you think it is worth waiting to get the qualifications for a foundation degree or to try now to get into a hnc/d course? Is their any difference in the actual end ticket or will they both still give you a unlimited commercial ticket?

Thanks

Both essentially give you the same thing, I'm lead to believe that the HND has more taught elements, and the foundation degree more self study. Should you wish to move ashore both can be upgraded to a BSc, but it's quicker for someone holding a foundation degree.
