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 Nuclear Engineering with experts from large, global organisations, including: Alstom, BMW, Eaton, Gen2, Jaguar Land Rover, Railtrack, Siemens, UAE Military Logistics Support, Engineering Council, the Royal Aeronautical Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies, Society of Operations Engineers, the Institute of Engineering Technology, the Institute of the Motor Industry and the National Forum of Engineering Centres. The representatives are able to help design our qualifications to equip learners with skills required by industry across the world.

The Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies (SEMTA) supported the qualification’s registration to Ofqual.
