Career-ready education
BTECs enable a learner-centred approach to education, with a flexible, unit-based structure and
knowledge applied to project-based assessments. BTECs focus on the holistic development of
the practical, interpersonal and thinking skills required to be successful in employment and
higher education.
When creating the BTEC International Level 3 qualifications in this suite, Pearson worked with
many employers, higher-education providers, colleges and schools to ensure that they met their
needs. Employers are looking for recruits who have a thorough grounding in the latest
industry requirements and work-ready skills, for example teamwork. Learners who progress to
higher education need experience of research, extended writing and meeting deadlines.
BTEC qualifications provide the breadth and depth of learning to give learners this experience.
BTEC addresses these needs by offering:
• a range of BTEC qualification sizes, each with a clear purpose, so that there is something to
suit each learner’s choice of study programme and progression plans
• internationally relevant content, which is closely aligned with employer andhigher-education
needs
• assessments and projects chosen to help learners progress; this means that some
assessments and projects are set by centre to meet local needs, while othersare set by
Pearson, ensuring a core of skills and understanding common to all learners.
If centre need further information on these changes or what they mean, contact pearson via
