How you'll be assessed

Assessment of the BTEC includes a range of assessment types and styles suited to vocational qualifications Externally-assessed units - Each external assessment for a BTEC National is linked to a specific unit. Each assessment/examination is taken under specified conditions, then marked by Pearson, and a grade is awarded. There are also set tasks – learners take the assessment during a defined window and demonstrate understanding through completion of a vocational task. Some external assessments include a period of preparation using set information. Internally assessed units - Most units in the sector are internally assessed through an assignment set by the class teacher. This ensures that learners are assessed using a variety of styles to help them develop a broad range of transferable skills. Learners could be given opportunities to: ● Write up the findings of their own research. ● Use case studies to explore complex or unfamiliar situations. ● Carry out projects for which they have a choice over the direction and outcomes. ● Demonstrate practical and communication skills using appropriate presentations and role plays.
