We work with industry post-validation to further recognise our qualifications as high quality and career-focused; whether that be in the form of upskilling their own workforce with our qualifications or simply formally accepting the qualification as a part of the application process.

We are proud to have developed our Pearson BTEC Higher National in Art & Design with experts from organisations, including: The Partners, EEGP, Together Design, Creative and Cultural Skills, Design Business Association and BWA Design. The representatives are able to help design our qualifications to equip learners with skills required by industry across the world.

The Partners and EEGP supported the qualification’s registration to Ofqual.
