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 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 e","cbCaiaYmxpfDX1Sv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaYmxpfDX1Sv","pdf",2310186,336,"English","# Welcome\n# Why are BTECs so successful?\n# A word to learners\n# Collaborative development","[{\"question\":\"What qualifications are covered in the Sports Coaching specification?\",\"answer\":\"The specification covers the Extended Certificate in Sports Coaching, Foundation Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development, Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development, and the Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development.\"},{\"question\":\"When does teaching and certification start for this Issue 4 specification?\",\"answer\":\"It states first teaching from September 2019 and first certification from 2020 for the Sports Coaching and Development qualifications.\"},{\"question\":\"How are BTEC Nationals assessments structured?\",\"answer\":\"BTEC Nationals use project-based assessments and can include centre-set assessments to meet local needs, alongside assessments that are set and marked by Pearson to ensure shared core skills and understanding.\"}]","Pearson BTEC Level 3 Nationals - Sports Coaching Specification - Issue 4 | PDF",1792464236,847]
