We put the learner at the centre of everything we do, because wherever learning flourishes, so do people.

BTEC International Level 3 qualifications allow learners to progress to the workplace – either directly or via study at a higher level. Over 100,000 BTEC learners apply to university every year. Their Level 3 BTECs, either on their own or in combination with A Levels, are accepted by UK and international universities, and higher education institutes for entry to relevant degree programmes.  \nCareer-ready education  \nBTECs 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.  \nWhen creating the BTEC International Level 3 qualifications in this suite, we worked with many employers, higher-education providers, colleges and schools to ensure that we meet 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.  \nBTEC addresses these needs by offering:  \n• 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  \n• internationally relevant content, which is closely aligned with employer and higher-education needs  \n• assessments and projects chosen to help learners progress; this means that some assessments and projects are set by you to meet local needs, while others are set by Pearson, ensuring a core of skills and understanding common to all learners.  \nWe provide a full range of support, both resources and people, to ensure that learners and teachers have the best possible experience during their course.
