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 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 and colleges 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 providers’needs for a skilled future workforce  \n• assessments and projects chosen to h","cbCaiqxxB1cPRzvA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqxxB1cPRzvA","pdf",2946686,261,"English","# Welcome\n## Why are BTECs so successful?\n## Collaborative development\n## A word to learners\n## References and publication details\n## Resources and support","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of BTEC Level 3 Nationals in Esports?\",\"answer\":\"It provides learner-centred vocational qualifications at Level 3 with progression to employment directly or via further study, supported by flexible unit-based learning and applied assessments.\"},{\"question\":\"How are BTEC Nationals assessed in this Esports specification?\",\"answer\":\"The qualifications use knowledge applied in project-based assessments, including locally set activities to meet needs and Pearson-set and marked assessments to provide a common core of skills and understanding.\"},{\"question\":\"Who helps develop the Esports qualifications?\",\"answer\":\"The specification was developed in close collaboration with experts from key stakeholders, including esports-focused experts, university and further education lecturers, teachers, employers, and professional body representatives.\"}]","Pearson BTEC Level 3 Nationals Extended Certificate - Esports Specification - Issue 3 | PDF",1792465005,658]
