86% of students say they want to learn skills that help them get a job.
Have questions about BTEC?
On 20 October, the government published its Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper, setting out significant reforms to vocational education in England. We know you'll have questions about what this means for you and your child, and we want to provide you with clear information and reassurance.
Below are our FAQs in response to the publication of the white paper. We have made them relevant to a learner, parent or carer.
