Career-ready education BTECs enable a learner-centred approach to education, with a flexible, unit-based
structure and knowledge applied to project-based assessments. BTECs focus on the
holistic development of the practical, interpersonal and thinking skills required to be
successful in employment and higher education.
When creating the BTEC International Level 3 qualifications in this suite, we worked with
many employers, higher-education providers, colleges and schools to ensure that we
met their needs. Employers are looking for recruits who have a thorough grounding in
the latest industry requirements and work-ready skills, for example teamwork. Learners
who progress to higher education need experience of research, extended writing and
meeting deadlines. BTEC qualifications provide the breadth and depth of learning to
give learners this experience.
BTEC addresses these needs by offering:
•
a range of BTEC qualification sizes, each with a clear purpose, so that there
is something to suit each learner’s choice of study programme and
progression plans
•
internationally relevant content, which is closely aligned with employer and
higher-education needs
•
assessments and projects chosen to help learners progress; this means that
some assessments and projects are set by you to meet local needs, while
others are set by Pearson, ensuring a core of skills and understanding common
to all learners.
We provide a full range of support, both resources and people, to ensure that learners
and teachers have the best possible experience during their course. See
Section 10 resources and support , for details of the support we offer.
