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.  \nThis specification is Issue 5. We will inform centres of any changes to this issue.  \nThe latest issue can be found on our website.  \nReferences to third-party material made in this specification are made in good faith.

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. 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 Performing Arts aim to go on to employment, often via the stepping stone of higher education.  \nIt 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 delive","cbCaijMPix2RjX6h","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijMPix2RjX6h","pdf",4266605,168,"English","# Overview\n## About Pearson\n## Career-ready education\n## Collaborative development\n## Summary of changes (Issue 5)\n### Withdrawn specialist pathways","[{\"question\":\"What does the specification cover for Pearson BTEC International Level 3 in Performing Arts?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines the qualification’s approach, including career-ready education principles and an assessment model based on a flexible, unit-based structure and project-based assessments.\"},{\"question\":\"When is Issue 5 first taught?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 5 is first teaching from April 2020.\"},{\"question\":\"What information is included about changes in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a summary of changes between the previous issue and the current Issue 5, including specialist pathways that were withdrawn and removed.\"}]","Pearson BTEC International Level 3 in Performing Arts Specification - Issue 5 | PDF",1792465983,423]
