WHAT IS BTEC LEVEL 3 ?
BTEC Level 3
BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) qualifications are internationally recognised, career-focused programmes designed to develop practical skills, academic knowledge, and industry-relevant competencies. Unlike traditional, exam-heavy pathways, BTECs emphasise hands-on learning, real-world projects, continuous assessment, and practical application. This makes them an ideal choice for students who prefer a more engaging, experience-based approach to education.
BTECs are awarded by Pearson, the world’s largest learning company, and are trusted by employers, universities, and professional bodies across the globe. Millions of students in the UK and around the world choose BTEC qualifications every year for their strong academic value and career relevance.
