Pearson and Microsoft collaboration
Microsoft and Pearson have collaborated to bring you and your students updated Pearson BTEC qualifications and resources.
Our revised Pearson BTEC International Level 3 in IT specification is mapped to the Microsoft Computer Science Curriculum. New units have been developed in the optional group, which are focused on future emerging elements of the industry. There is no change to the structure asides from the addition of units so don’t worry about your current students as they can continue to study the combinations you have selected. However, the new units will bring you extra choice for new cohorts. We have also mapped to some Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Certifications and can show you how to deliver content for these. You can enter your learners for these certifications as an extra service. Microsoft Fundamentals are industry-endorsed certifications that give a professional advantage by proving a mastering of skills in digital and cloud businesses. Attainment of these certifications allows learners to pursue technical job roles.
