13 Applied, work-related qualifications Designed closely with employers and professional groups Develop knowledge, skills and behaviours Students learn how to learn Team based and student-centred Modular design Progress at own speed Progress from one level to another Create customised, relevant programmes
14 1960 s 1980 s Started life as BEC and TEC Merged into BTEC Edexcel created by merger of BTEC + ULEAC Pearson acquired Edexcel and we had our 1 millionth student in 2008 Latest specifications launched Next Specification update 14
15 BTEC is a work related qualification suitable for a wide range of students. They provide a practical, real-world approach to learning alongside a theoretical background. Students study real life, work-based case studies and complete projects and assessments
16 In order to complete each unit, students must achieve against a set of outcomes. The assessment criteria includes both theory and practical exercises. The assessment process is ongoing, so it allows the student to analyse and improve their own performance through their course in much the same way as in a real workplace. The projects that students undertake form the basis of their unit results which are graded as a Pass, a Merit or a Distinction.
17 "Tutors welcome applications from those who are engaged on a BTEC National Diploma Art and Design course where there is a substantial element of both Fine Art and Art History. Please note that because of the practical nature of the Fine Art degree, which also includes a substantial theoretical component, a candidate who has successfully completed the BTEC may be well suited to the content and structure of the degree course at Oxford".
