Today (10 August 2021), more than 230,000 students receive results for their Level 3 BTEC qualifications, moving on to the next step in their education or career path.

Over the last eighteen months you will have heard the word ‘unprecedented’ repeated regularly and, through these extraordinary times, I have been in awe of the resilience, fortitude, agility and determination of you all as you’ve faced the challenges and new landscape of learning head on.
