We provide content, assessment and digital services to schools, colleges and universities, as well as professional and vocational education to learners to help increase their skills and lifelong employability prospects. We believe that wherever learning flourishes so do people .  \nThis specification is Issue 6. We will inform centres of any changes to this issue.

They provide progression to the workplace either directly or via study at a higher level. Proof comes from YouGov research, which shows that 62% of large companies have recruited employees with BTEC qualifications. What’s more, well over 100,000 BTEC students apply to UK universities every year and their BTEC Nationals are accepted by over 150 UK universities and higher education institutes for relevant degree programmes either on their own or in combination with A Levels.  \nWhy are BTECs so successful?  \nBTECs embody a fundamentally learner-centred approach to the curriculum, with a flexible, unit-based structure and knowledge applied in project-based assessments. They focus on the holistic development of the practical, interpersonal and thinking skills required to be able to succeed in employment and higher education .  \nWhen creating the BTEC Nationals in this suite, we worked with many employers, higher education providers, colleges and schools to ensure that their needs are met. Employers are looking for recruits with a thorough grounding in the latest industry requirements and work-ready skills such as teamwork. Higher education needs students who have experience of research, extended writing and meeting deadlines.  \nWe have addressed these requirements with:  \n• a range of BTEC sizes, each with a clear purpose, so there is something to suit each learner’s choice of study programme and progression plans  \n• refreshed content that is closely aligned with employers’ and higher education needs for askilled future workforce  \n• assessments and projects chosen to help learners progress to the next stage . This means some are set by you to meet local needs, while others are set and marked by Pearson so that there is a core of skills and understanding that is common to all learners. For example, a written test can be used to check that learners are confident in using technical knowledge to carry out a certain job.  \nWe are providing a wealth of support, both resources and people, to ensure that learners and their teachers have the best possible experience during their course . See Section 10 for details of the support we offer.  \nA word to learners  \nToday’s BTEC Nationals are demanding, as you would expect of the most respected applied learning qualification in the UK. You will have to choose and complete a range of units, be organised, take some assessments that we will set and mark, and keep a portfolio of your assignments. But you can feel proud to achieve a BTEC because, whatever your plans in life – whe","cbCaic2yXD6Ux6Us","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic2yXD6Ux6Us","pdf",1420665,94,"English","# About Pearson\n# Why are BTECs so successful?\n# A word to learners\n# Collaborative development\n## Professional bodies and supporters","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the BTEC Nationals in Engineering described in this specification?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes a learner-centred, flexible unit-based approach where knowledge is applied through project-based assessments to build practical, interpersonal and thinking skills.\"},{\"question\":\"How are assessments managed within these qualifications?\",\"answer\":\"Assessments and projects are selected to support progression; some are set to meet local needs, while others are set and marked by Pearson to ensure shared core skills and understanding.\"},{\"question\":\"Who was involved in developing the Engineering qualifications, and why?\",\"answer\":\"Development involved close collaboration with employers, professional bodies, universities and delivery providers to ensure the content meets progression needs and provides high-quality preparation.\"}]","Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Engineering - Issue 6 - Specification | PDF",1792463067,237]
