BTEC Nationals benefit your college

BTEC Nationals have been further education’s Level 3 technical qualification of choice for over 25 years.  We’ve updated and broadened our range to over 220 qualification titles, all of which have been re-accredited by QCA.

  • They can attract additional funding for:
     
    • apprenticeships and technical certificate students
    • resource-heavy subjects.
  • The range of units enables you to create a qualification that:
     
    • meets the needs of your students and local employers
    • plays to the strengths of your students and teaching staff
    • enables you to draw on your own real world experience, embedding new skills (through a unique mix of theory and practice) in the next generation.
  • They are ‘nested’ qualifications, which means that you can match the qualification to the student’s ability and move up or down (from award to certificate to diploma) as appropriate.
  • Ongoing, exam-free assessment in tangible skills produces highly-motivated learners.

BTEC Nationals benefit your students

  • BTEC Nationals equip your students with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to progress to higher-level qualifications such as a BTEC HND/HNC or degree or directly into their chosen career.
  • They can be studied alongside A levels, giving your students a set of varied and well-rounded Level 3 qualifications.
  • In today’s highly-competitive job market, our new BTEC Nationals equip students, best suited to mixed or vocational learning, with a passport to success.
  • As they also earn UCAS points, they are recognised and valued by universities and allow students to progress to a BTEC HND/HNC or honours degree programme.
