BTEC First Award in Children's Play, Learning and Development learners registered in September 2018 will only be able to re-sit the exam one time. This change is in line with all 'Technical Awards' on the Key stage 4 performance tables.

There are a number of network events in November for further education centres. These will allow you to share good practice and network with other centres. There are various dates and locations.

The NEW BTEC Tech Award in Child Development has been approved by the DfE and is available for teaching from September 2018. It is specifically designed for 14-16 year old students. It has three components, two of which are internally assessed and one which is externally assessed by Pearson.

There have been a number of changes made to the Unit 4 external assessment. The amount of time students have to prepare and the notes they can take in has changed. You can see the changes in the updated Sample Assessment Material.
