We’ve created a new page so we can keep you up-to-date with the latest news and information and support you as you deliver BTEC qualifications.  This page will be kept updated for academic year 2021/22, so please bookmark this page for the latest information, and sign up for our regular VQ Bulletins. 

Last September the DfE published the technical guidance for KS4 qualifications to be included in 2024 performance tables in England. To meet these new requirements, Pearson has submitted revised BTEC Tech Award qualifications and we’re pleased to announce that the draft specifications and assessments are now available.

There are a number of adaptations that you can use for Unit 6, including a new and updated Assignment brief and PEP booklet. We are waiting for an update on whether these adaptations can be used for 2021/2022

We have developed a new community platform where you can communicate directly with us here at Pearson and with colleagues out there delivering our qualifications.
