FAQs

What is the purpose of this BTEC International guidance for 2021–2022?

It supports effective delivery of BTEC course content through adaptations in teaching, learning, and assessment during the 2021–2022 academic year.

Why might some BTEC qualifications not be adapted in 2021/2022?

Some adaptations may affect reliability and validity, and some qualifications act as a licence to practice or primarily support progression to the workplace, so adaptations may not be applied.

What are the key social distancing and safety considerations for practical Performing Arts and Dance units?

The guidance addresses equipment and costume handling, strategies to manage group performance (including solo adjustments), suggested 3m x 3m activity squares with 2m corridors, and safer performance approaches for singing and other activities with higher respiratory risk.
