This brochure provides comprehensive information about the countries where BTEC qualifications are recognised and offered, and the organisations that recognise them.  \nWe are continually seeking to expand the number of countries where BTECs are recognised to provide a vocational education option toa wider range of people. In addition to the recognition listed in this document, a wide range of universities, employers and professional bodies around the world accept and recognise students with BTEC qualifications. In countries such as Brunei and the Maldives, we have worked in partnership with their Departments for Education to develop BTEC qualifications for their learners.  \n2  \nIllustrated by Tang Yau Hoong  \nHigh progression rates   \nStudents in the UK who hold BTEC qualifications have high rates of progression between learning levels compared  \nto other types of vocational qualification. *  \n*Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, UK, October 2015  \nIn 2016, nearly 1 in 4 students in the UK  \nwho got into university  \ndid so with a BTEC. *  \n*UCAS and HESA data on entry to HE (2017)  \n784 Approved  \nCentres in 60 Countries  \nEmployment  \n90%of UK BTEC  \nstudents are employed full time after graduating. *  \n*The outcomes associated with the BTEC route of degree level acquisition, London Economics 2013  \n90%  \nWhat are BTECs?  \nOver 1 million learners every year choose a BTEC course, because they are high quality, hands-on qualifications grounded in the real world of work. Students learn by doing, and develop valuable employability skills that they will use throughout their future career or for progression into university.  \nBTECs are all about learning by doing and that means BTEC students can use what they learn in practice straight away. Throughout the course, students work on a series of assignments set in real-life scenarios, developing the practical knowledge and skills employers and universities are looking for. BTECs equip students with both the academic knowledge and practical skills necessary to succeed.  \n“I would definitely recommend BTEC to other people.”  \nMax Whitlock MBE,  \nDouble Olympic Gold Medallist (BTEC Sport)  \nBTECs are career focused qualifications that offer more than just training for jobs.
