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 10. 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 p","cbCaiiTEw85zZQrY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiTEw85zZQrY","pdf",1725658,168,"English","# About Pearson\n# 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 purpose of BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Health and Social Care (Issue 10)?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a learner-centred, unit-based qualification focused on practical, interpersonal and thinking skills, supporting progression to employment or higher education.\"},{\"question\":\"How are learners assessed in this BTEC qualification?\",\"answer\":\"Assessments use a flexible combination of project-based approaches and other methods, including tests to confirm confidence in applying technical knowledge, plus portfolio-based assignments.\"},{\"question\":\"What major changes are included in Issue 10?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment structure for Unit 4 is revised from January 2023 onwards, and references to MyBTEC have been removed due to retirement of the service.\"}]","Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Health and Social Care - Issue 10 - specification | PDF",1792462920,423]
