How can BTEC Custom Designed Qualifications work for you?
Complete custom designed BTEC qualification
You can request a fully custom BTEC qualification, designed with your input to meet the needs of your students, local employers, or workforce. Pearson validates the final qualification.
Partial custom designed BTEC qualification
If existing BTEC units don’t meet a specific local need, we can create new units or a specialist pathway. These custom units can be combined with existing ones to form a tailored BTEC qualification.
