Pearson BTECs provide progression into the workplace either directly or via study at university and are also designed to meet employers’ needs. Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications are therefore widely recognised by industry and higher education as the principal vocational qualification at Levels 4 and 5.  \nA word from our subject expert  \n“It is a great pleasure to present the new Higher Nationals in Art & Design. This qualification offers anew approach to art & design in the Higher Nationals; bringing greater emphasis to the professionsand opportunities within the creative industries. The combination of new pathways and units will allow students to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to work within one of the most dynamic and growing areas of the global economy.  \nRecognising the diversity of roles within the creative industries, and the need for both specialist technical skills and broad employability skills, the new qualification seeks to embed this range of skills throughout the units; stressing both the creative and the professional.  \nThe structure of the new qualification aims to provide centres with a flexible framework in which to develop specialist curriculum that can be ‘tuned’ to local requirements.  \nIn developing these qualifications, we have worked closely with industry experts, universities, colleges and students to ensure that we are offering a qualification that supports students today and into the future”  \nProfessional courses developed collaboratively with subject experts  \nWith input from industry, employers, professional bodies, tutors, students, and higher education institutions, the new Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals have been designed to better meet the needs of a changing market. The result is a qualification suite designed and developed to meet professional standards, recognised by employers and universities, which develop not only academic skills and abilities, but workreadiness skills.  \nThe objectives of the redevelopment of the BTEC Higher Nationals have been to ensure:  \n• employer engagement;  \n• work relatedness;  \n• opportunities for progression to further higher education;  \n• alignment with UK higher education expectations; and  \n• qualifications which are up to date with current professional practice and include professional accreditation and opportunities to gain vendor certification where possible.  \nWhat’s new?  \nFor your new Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications, we are building on what you’ve told us you value most:  \n• Essential subject knowledge needed by students to progress successfully into further study or to the world of work;  \n• Refreshed content that is closely aligned with employers’ and higher education needs for a skilled future workforce;  \n• Assessments that consider cognitive skills (what students know) along with affective and psychomotor skills (what they can do and how they behave);  \n• An assessment strategy that supports progression to Level 6 studies and also allows centres to offer assessment relevant to the local economy, reflecting the strengths of different learning styles;  \n• Learning outcomes mapped against SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age) standards where appropriate;  \n• Robust quality assurance measures that serve to ensure that all stakeholders (e.g. professional bodies, universit","cbCaifdppjanipG4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifdppjanipG4","pdf",1554069,"English","# Introducing your new Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Art & Design\n## A word from our subject expert\n## Professional courses developed collaboratively with subject experts\n## What’s new?\n## Objectives of the redevelopment\n## Sector Input Key Features of the New Qualifications\n## Education Sector Input\n## Creative Industries Sector Input\n## Soft Skills/Study Skills\n## Commercial Skills/Commercial Awareness","[{\"question\":\"When does the qualification start teaching and when is the first certification available?\",\"answer\":\"The guide states first teaching from September 2017 and first certification from 2018.\"},{\"question\":\"What redevelopment objectives are listed for the BTEC Higher Nationals?\",\"answer\":\"The objectives include employer engagement, work relatedness, opportunities for progression to further higher education, alignment with UK higher education expectations, and up-to-date qualifications with professional accreditation and vendor certification opportunities where possible.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning and assessment changes are described as “What’s new”?\",\"answer\":\"Updates include refreshed subject content aligned to employer and higher education needs, assessments that consider cognitive plus affective and psychomotor skills, and an assessment strategy supporting progression to Level 6 with options relevant to the local economy.\"}]","Pearson Higher Nationals in Art and Design - Qualification Guide | PDF",1792466859,18]
