Benefits of BTEC qualifications

Key features of BTECs:

  • Skills-based learning: courses are structured around themed units with assessments based on real-life scenarios.
  • Continuous assessment: unlike traditional exams, BTECs are tested throughout the course, not just at the end, providing a practical approach to learning.
