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 2 qualifications in this suite, we worked with many employers, colleges and schools to ensure that we met their needs.  \nBTEC addresses these needs by offering:  \n· a range ofBTEC qualification sizes, each with a clear purpose, so that thereis something to suit each learner’s choice of study programme and progression plans  \n· internationally relevant content, which is closely aligned with employer and further 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.
