BTEC courses are one of the most popular routes of progression and are a widely recognised qualification for entry into higher education, than any other vocational courses. They are also accepted by 95% of universities and colleges including Oxford University. BTECs have become a popular route for many Pupils due to the vocational nature of the course, allowing an insight into real scenarios affecting individuals and organisations in different industries, so that core knowledge can be applied. These courses have become more attractive to employers and higher education providers alike as they provide skills in independence, organisation and self-discipline. A range of mandatory units is provided in response to employer feedback to ensure that all Pupils have the same master skills.
