A BTEC is so much more than a qualification – former BTEC students often say how they continue to apply what they learned on their BTEC course, when they progressed on to further study, started a job and as they advance throughout their career.
Hear from BTEC learners, institutions and former students below.
Students at Cambridge House come from a diverse range of academic backgrounds and are often ESL (English as a second language) learners, driving staff at the school to experiment with innovative teaching techniques that allow them to respond dynamically to learner needs.
Using skills from both Media Film and Drama combined with English Language and Literature skills, BTEC Student of the Year 2019 Josephine Kiaga is both a creative and inspirational voice for her peers and the wider community.
She says; ‘My BTEC courses have helped to give me a real direction. At the end of my two years, I know that I’m passionate about film. I don’t want to be at the centre of it – on screen- but behind the action. I love film and the BTEC vocational and practical approach to learning."

Studying a BTEC helped me to develop a number of practical skills in my specialist role in the Football industry, but also gave me experience in a variety of other sports. As well as this, the course also gave me vast knowledge around the theoretical side of coaching in regard to underpinning reasons for using certain techniques and/or specific practical session. By studying a BTEC, it opened up a number of pathways to follow post course.
