Our BTEC qualifications give schools and colleges a wide range of practical, career-based options to create a rich, broad curriculum to engage and motivate students. BTEC offers the flexibility to teach through real-life scenarios and cover theories and contexts to bring subjects to life.

BTECs can be taken alongside, or in place of, GCSEs and A levels and support students’ preferred progression route to university, an Apprenticeship or into a career.
