They provide progression to the workplace either directly or via study at a higher level. Proof comes from YouGov research, which shows that 62 per cent 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.  \nFor example, a written test can be used to check that learners are confident in using technical knowledge to carry out a certain job.  \nWe provide a wealth of support, both resources and people, to ensure that learners and their teachers have the best possibl","cbCaikNBzyAg7s2n","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikNBzyAg7s2n","pdf",1758116,96,"English","# Welcome\n# Why are BTECs so successful?\n# A word to learners\n# Collaborative development\n# Summary of changes made between the previous issue and this current issue","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Music Performance specification?\",\"answer\":\"It defines the specification framework for the Music Performance qualification, including the learner-centred approach and how assessment and progression support employment and higher education.\"},{\"question\":\"From when are teaching and certification planned for this Issue 3 specification?\",\"answer\":\"Teaching begins in September 2018, and certification starts in 2019.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Issue 3 provide regarding updates to the qualification?\",\"answer\":\"It includes a summary of changes made between the previous issue and the current Issue 3, covering amendments to qualification and unit content.\"}]","Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Music Performance - Issue 3 - Specification changes summary | PDF",1792463367,242]
