HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM A LEVELS?

BTECs offer students a variety of assessment methods which allows them to build on their strengths. Each course provides students with a mix of project based assessments which typically involve employer links, as well as written tests, online assessments and examinations. BTECs have grown in popularity in recent years because they allow students to express their understanding practically, as well as theoretically.

We are incredibly proud of our links with employers. Our BTEC students have recently worked with Ticketmaster, the British Film Institute (BFI) and Harrods. The opportunity of engaging with real world employers is an element that separates out BTEC courses from traditional study. This provides students with an insight into the real world and it prepares them for university and employment alike.
