We provide content, assessment and digital services to learners, educational institutions, employers, governments and other partners globally. We are committed to helping equip learners with the skills they need to enhance their employability prospects and to succeed in the changing world of work. We believe that wherever learning flourishes so do people.  \nReferences to third party materials made in this specification are made in good faith. Pearson does not endorse, approve or accept responsibility for the content of materials, which may be subject to change, or any opinions expressed therein.

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 met 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 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 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. See Section 10 Resources and support, for details of the support we offer.  \nCollaborative development  \nLearners who complete their BTEC International Level 3 qualification in Health and Social care aim to go on to employment, often via the stepping stone of higher education. It was, therefore, essential that we developed these qualifications in close collaboration with experts from professional bodies, businesses and universities, and with the providers who will be delivering the qualifications. We engaged experts in the development of these qualifications to ensure that the content meets providers’ needs and gives learners quality pr","cbCaimvLsvJfgAXw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimvLsvJfgAXw","pdf",4485194,310,"English","# Introduction to the BTEC International Level 3 qualifications for the health and social care sector\n# Qualifications, sizes and purposes at a glance\n# Structures of the qualifications at a glance\n# Qualification and unit content\n## Assessment\n## Grading for units and qualifications\n# 1 Qualification purpose and progression\n# 2 Structure\n# 3 Units\n## Understanding your units\n## Index of units\n# 4 Planning your programme\n# 5 Assessment structure\n## Introduction\n## Internal assessment\n## Pearson Set Assignment units\n# 6 Internal assessment\n## Principles of internal assessment (applies to all units)\n## Making valid assessment decisions\n## Planning and record keeping\n## Setting effective assignments (applies to all units without Pearson set assignments)\n## Late completion, resubmission and retakes\n# 7 Administrative arrangements\n## Learner registration and entry\n## Access to assessment\n## Conducting set assignments\n## Dealing with malpractice in assessment\n## Certification and results\n## Additional documents to support centre administration\n# 8 Quality assurance\n# 9 Understanding the qualification grade\n# 10 Resources and support\n## Support for setting up your course and preparing to teach\n## Pearson Progress\n## LearningHub\n## Support for teaching and learning\n## Support for assessment\n## Training and support from Pearson\n# Appendix 1: Links to industry standards\n# Appendix 2: Transferable employability skills","[{\"question\":\"What qualifications and progression routes are covered by this BTEC International Level 3 specification?\",\"answer\":\"The specification describes Pearson BTEC International Level 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care and how learners can progress to employment, often via higher education.
