Current BTEC Nationals in IT & Computing

The current BTEC Nationals all remain available for registration for this years intake and for certification in 2026.

Please be careful when making Registrations for the current qualifications to register for  the largest size that the students would want to certificate with if they are staying for the full term of the program delivery.

The current reform status (which may change) means that registrations made in September 2025 to larger sizes may not be available, whereas the ability to drop down to a smaller size qualification will remain available.
