BTEC blog

The recent College of the Future report for Wales has emphasised the importance of access to lifelong learning in Wales, alongside the rest of the UK. Vocational learning is an essential part of this landscape, equipping learners with practical skills and knowledge to get them ready for their career, and enabling them to upskill throughout their working lives.

We’ve heard from some inspiring adult learners in Wales who have excelled in vocational education. In this blog we’ll hear about Saffron Herbert, a BTEC Health and Social Care student from Neath College who is now studying paediatric nursing at The University of West England in Bristol.

Our Health and Social Care sector manager, Trudy Murray, has compiled a list of useful books, films and TV shows that can help you to learn more about the Health and Social Care sector. They can also support you as you study for your BTEC qualification, so take a look and see what you think!
