Study guides are designed to support students in their study for a specific unit of their qualification. They provide guidance in relation to the specific Essential Content of the unit; highlighting key topics and principles that the student should explore further.

In addition, they provide additional guidance in regard to Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria. Through ‘tips’ and ‘activities’ students are encouraged to explore topics further. Intended to work alongside classroom teaching, study guides give additional direction and support for studying a BTEC Higher National.
