Introducing BTEC http://www.edexcel.com/btec/new-to-btec/learners-parents/pages/default.aspx Over the last 25 years, BTEC have helped millions of people develop the skills they need to get on in life. Engaging and inspiring, these work-related qualifications are suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities. BTECs give students the skills they need to either move on to higher education or go straight into employment. For instance, a BTEC National Certificate in Business would cover all aspects of business including marketing, law, human resources and accounting. What is a BTEC? BTECs are work-related qualifications suitable for a wide range of students. They're built to accommodate the needs of employers and allow progression to university. They provide a practical, real-world approach to learning without sacrificing any of the essential subject theory. They can be taken alongside, or in place of, GCSEs and A levels. They can also form the knowledge component of Foundation Learning or BTEC Apprenticeships. Available across a wide range of industry sectors, they're continually developed and updated to meet the needs of employers and learners. Where can a BTEC take you? BTECs have been around for nearly 30 years and their reputation is second to none. They're recognised by schools, colleges, universities, employers and professional bodies across the UK and in over 100 worldwide. They offer natural progression along a vocational path, from and to academic qualifications and university. BTEC qualifications are developed with key industry representatives and sector skills councils. Many industry and professional bodies offer exemptions to successful BTEC students for their own accredited qualifications.
