Academic qualifications are typically classroom-based qualifications which are assessed externally through formal exams or moderated coursework, whereas vocational qualifications are typically taught in a hands-on manner and assessed internally by the tutor or trainer throughout the course, via the completion of practical assignments. The BTEC vocational qualifications are work-related qualifications offered by PEARSON EDEXCEL, suitable for a wide range of learners, built to accommodate the needs of employers and also allow progression to university. They provide a more practical, real-world approach to learning alongside a key theoretical background in a particular field of study. With their strong emphasis on developing practical skills inculcating specialist knowledge and understanding for a particular sector, BTEC Higher Nationals are recognised internationally by employers as providing learners with the key concepts and practical skills for direct progression to, or within, employment. BTEC Qualifications consist of 7 levels First introduced in 1984, BTEC which stands for 'Business and Technology Education
Council', used to run the award. BTEC programmes are now awarded by the Pearson
Edexcel, UK's largest awarding organization and are offered in more than 100 countries at all
levels, from pre-GCSE to Degree equivalent.
Level 1 (Certificate) & Level 2 (Diploma) These levels are pre O/L courses, suitable for any learners aged between 14 and 16, suitable for who are motivated by a work-related courses (not offered at Ladies’ College).
Level 3 (Extended Diploma) The Edexcel International Diploma is a unique combination of Edexcel academic and BTEC vocational qualifications that creates rounded students, equipped with the key skills, knowledge and behaviours that are needed for success in the modern world. It is recommended for ages 16-19 and the entry qualification is either completion of level 2 or at least 5 passes in O/L including a credit pass in English.
Level 4 (Higher National Certificate) Levels 4 – 7 are professional qualifications which enable learners to progress to, or within employment, or to continue education. It is recommended for ages above 19 and the entry qualification is either completion of level 3 or at least 2 passes in A/L. It is equiva-lent to first year degree programme in that field of study.
Level 5 (Higher National Diploma) Entry qualification is the completion of level 4 and is equivalent to the second year degree programme of that field of study.
Level 7 (Extended Higher National Diploma) Edexcel BTEC at level 7 is designed to provide focused learning, with a strong emphasis on practical skills development alongside the acquisition of requisite knowledge and un-derstanding of the business sector.
