The demand for workforce skills is increasing and the need for global certification in technical and vocational areas is growing. BTEC qualifications are uniquely placed to respond to these skills gaps by providing practical skills assessment and up-to-date career-focussed education in traditional and emerging sectors.
BTEC, which stands for Business and Technology Education Council, is a globally recognised qualification that equips students with practical skills and knowledge essential for a successful career. Developed by Edexcel, a subsidiary of Pearson, BTEC programmes are designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application.
On successful completion of a BTEC International Level 3, students can progress to employment or continue their learning in the same or related areas of study, in higher education and professional development programmes.
The Pearson BTEC International Level 3 qualifications have been designed for international learners in collaboration with employers, Higher Education Institutions (Universities and Colleges) and teaching professionals from around the world. They are career-focused, internationally recognised qualifications that are designed to enable learners to gain the knowledge and skills required for employment, or to be taken as part of a wider study programme such as the International Baccalaureate Career Related Program.
