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 this new BTEC Introductory Suite, the focus is on the development of both transferable and sector skills. The development of these skills is key in helping progression to further study – whether that be to other BTECs, to apprenticeships or to training. As we expect many learners to be studying functional skills or GCSEs alongside their BTEC we also offer support skills in English and maths.  \nWhen creating the BTEC Introductory Suite, we worked with colleges to ensure that learners’ needs were met. The colleges told us that it is essential that Level 1 learners develop key progression skills in areas such as problem solving, communication and research.  \nWe have addressed this through:  \n• offering a BTEC Introductory Award, a BTEC Introductory Certificate and a BTEC Introductory Diploma, each has a clear and distinct purpose, so there is something to suit every learner’s choice of study programme and progression plan  \n• new skills-focused content closely aligned with what centres need in supporting thei","cbCaib1o64nNrFvP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib1o64nNrFvP","pdf",2708228,204,"English","# Welcome\n## Why BTECs are so successful?\n## A word to learners\n## Summary of Issue 4 changes\n## Summary of Issue 2 and 3 changes","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the Pearson BTEC Introductory Land-based Studies programme?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on developing transferable and sector skills through a flexible, unit-based curriculum to support progression to further study or work.\"},{\"question\":\"When did the specification first start being taught and what does Issue 4 represent?\",\"answer\":\"The first teaching is from September 2019, and Issue 4 is the current issue with key changes highlighted in the document.\"},{\"question\":\"How are learners assessed in these BTEC Introductory qualifications?\",\"answer\":\"Graded assessments are included in every unit to help learners progress to the next stage of their personal journey.\"}]","Pearson BTEC Level 1 Introductory - Land-based Studies - Issue 4 - Specification | PDF",1792466562,514]
