BTECs are vocational qualifications which fully engage learners.
They provide a more practical, real-world approach to learning and skills development alongside a key theoretical background.
They continue to be developed and updated with and for industry and in response to the needs of learners. This ensures that learners gain maximum benefit from their work whilst qualifying. This could be in readiness for the workplace or continued study at the next level, whether in an academic environment or a more specialist vocational area.
BTEC qualifications range from Entry Level to Level 8 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). They offer natural progression along a vocational path, from and to academic qualifications and university.
