BTEC Nationals benefit your students

Many practically-minded students can become frustrated with academic study. However, once you capture their imagination with real skills, they reward you with enthusiasm and application.
They can be studied alongside A and AS 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.
