They have a proven track record in improving motivation and achievement among young learners . Additionally, BTECs provide progression routes to the next stage of education or into employment.  \nBTECs are evolving  \nInformed by recent policy developments, including the Review of Vocational Education – The Wolf Report (March 2011), we have designed this new suite of BTEC Firsts to:  \n● ensure high quality and rigorous standards  \n● conform to quality criteria for non-GCSE qualifications  \n● be fit for purpose for learners, pre-or post-16, in schools and in colleges. We conducted in-depth, independent consultations with schools, colleges, higher education, employers, the Association of Colleges and other professional organisations. This new suite builds on the qualities – such as a clear vocational context for learning and teacher-led assessment based on centre-devised assignments – that you told us make BTECs so effective and engaging.  \nThis new suite introduces features to meet the needs of educators, employers and the external environment. They are fully aligned with requirements for progression – to further study at level 3, into an apprenticeship or into the workplace. We believe these features will make BTEC even stronger and more highly valued.  \nWhat are the key principles of the new suite of BTEC Firsts?  \nTo support young people to succeed and progress in their education, we have drawn on our consultations with you and embedded four key design principles into the new BTEC Firsts.  \n1 Standards: a common core and external assessment  \nEach new Level 2 BTEC First Award has an essential core of knowledge and applied skills. We have introduced external assessment appropriate to the sector. This provides independent evidence of learning and progression alongside the predominantly portfolio-based assessment.  \n2 Quality: a robust quality-assurance model  \nBuilding on strong foundations, we have further developed our quality-assurance model to ensure robust support for learners, centres and assessors ","cbCaiulpV5WBSAOv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiulpV5WBSAOv","pdf",4392160,124,"English","# Welcome to your BTEC First 2012 specification\n## BTECs are evolving\n## What are the key principles of the new suite of BTEC Firsts?\n### Standards: a common core and external assessment\n### Quality: a robust quality-assurance model\n### Breadth and progression: a range of options building on the core\n### Recognising achievement: opportunity to achieve at level 1\n## Improved specification and support","[{\"question\":\"What is the first teaching date for this specification issue?\",\"answer\":\"The specification states that first teaching starts in September 2012.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the specification balance portfolio-based assessment with external assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It includes an essential core with external assessment appropriate to the sector, providing independent evidence alongside predominantly portfolio-based assessment.\"},{\"question\":\"What grade outcomes does the BTEC First Award include?\",\"answer\":\"The qualification is graded Pass, Merit, Distinction, and Distinction*.
