They provide progression to the workplace, either directly or via study at higher levels. Proof comes from YouGov research, which shows that 62% of large companies have recruited employees with BTEC qualifications.  \nWhy are BTECs so successful?  \nBTECs embody a fundamentally learner-centred approach to the curriculum, with a flexible, unit-based structure . In these new BTEC Level 2 Technicals, the focus is on the development of technical, practical and transferable work-related skills, and sector-specific knowledge.  \nThe development of these skills is key for learners to progress to work or to an Apprenticeship. When creating the BTEC Level 2 Technicals, we worked with employers to ensure that the qualifications meet their needs. Employers are looking for recruits with the appropriate technical knowledge, and technical and transferable skills essential for employment.  \nThe BTEC Level 2 Technicals meet these requirements through:  \n• a range of occupationally-related qualifications, each with a clear purpose, so that there is a qualification to suit each learner’s plan for career progression  \n• up-to-date content that is closely aligned with employers’ needs for a skilled future workforce  \n• assessments chosen to help learners progress to the next stage . This means that all assessments are set by the centre to meet local needs. This ensures that there is a core of skills and understanding common to all learners.  \nWe provide a wealth of support, both resources and people, to ensur","cbCaiqQ1ZukuTIwo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqQ1ZukuTIwo","pdf",2367149,146,"English","# Welcome\n## Why are BTECs so successful?\n## A word to learners…\n## Collaborative development\n# Summary of specification changes (Issue 3)","[{\"question\":\"When are the first teaching and first certification dates for this specification?\",\"answer\":\"First teaching is September 2018, and first certification is Summer 2019.\"},{\"question\":\"How do BTEC Level 2 Technicals support learner progression?\",\"answer\":\"They focus on technical, practical and transferable work-related skills and sector-specific knowledge, supporting progression to work or an Apprenticeship.\"},{\"question\":\"How are assessments for these qualifications determined?\",\"answer\":\"Assessments are chosen to help learners progress to the next stage, with all assessments set by the centre to meet local needs, following a common core of skills and understanding.\"}]","BTEC Level 2 Technical Diploma in Countryside Studies - Issue 3 - Specification changes summary | PDF",1792466878,368]
