BTEC is a unique and alternative option to studying IGCSE's or A-Levels. The delivery of each subject is predominantly practically based and then assessed through coursework/controlled assessments. This lends itself to students that learn better through practical real-world examples, and prefer to evidence their knowledge through case studies and coursework.
At BTEC Level 2 (Y10 & 11), students have the option to study the equivalent of 1 or 2 IGCSE's in 1 particular subject Graded 5-9. We currently run Level 2 BTEC in Sport. These BTEC's will allow your child to access either Level 3 BTEC's or transition onto the A-Level route. At BTEC Level 3 (Y12 & 13) students have a larger range of subjects from which to choose from Sport; Business; Travel & Tourism; Applied Science; Information Technology and Hospitality. These courses can be the equivalent of 1 or 2 A-Levels graded E-A*. These are fantastic qualifications that provide the necessary points/grade to access a large range of University courses globally. Alternatively, they can use BTEC's qualification to access globally recognised leading industry sector graduate schemes.
BTEC's are a fantastic alternative to studying IGCSE's and will provide students with a real-world skill set, along with excellent qualifications that will allow them to flourish and be successful at University and beyond.
