BTECs embody a fundamentally learner-centered approach to the curriculum, with a flexible, unit-based structure and knowledge applied in project-based assessments. They focus on the holistic development of the practical, interpersonal, and thinking skills required to be able to succeed in employment and higher education.

A good level of skills and capability in Information Technology is an expectation of virtually all employers. The blend of both theory and practical in this qualification provides an ideal grounding for future education or employment, whether you choose to specialize in IT or not. • A range of Higher Education courses (both IT-focused and non-IT) • Career paths that lead to professional IT management. • Career paths in management where IT skills play a huge supporting role. • People-orientated and socially aware fields of study. • Specialist academic study of IT/computing/multimedia/new media qualifications • Further training towards careers in IT support and development
