Delivering BTEC in Northern Ireland

​A BTEC qualification is unlike any other - because it works for everyone. It works for your learners, who get the knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve and progress, at school or college, and throughout their professional lives. 

BTEC gives teaching professionals more options to create a rich, broad curriculum that can motivate and engage every learner.

Important information

The post-16 Level 3 vocational qualification reforms affect England only and do not affect Northern Ireland.

"The BTEC course I completed a few years ago made it possible for me to experience many areas of the industry and fueled me to reach outside of my comfort zone and provide me with the skills I needed in order to continue to pursue my creative passions."
