BTEC Qualifications From 2008-9 Corpus Christi offers BTEC courses in Business, Art and Design, Performing Arts Dance and Sport. BTECs are work-related qualifications, suitable for a wide range of students, that are designed to accommodate the needs of employers as well as allowing progression to university. They provide a more practical, real-world approach to learning alongside a theoretical background, and can be taken as well as, or instead of, GCSEs in schools and colleges.
BTECs are recognised by schools, colleges, universities, employers and professional bodies in the UK and in over 100 countries worldwide. Having been around for 25 years, their reputation is second to none, and they continue to grow and develop. In 2007, more than a million students enrolled on a BTEC course in the UK alone. Rather than sit an exam, pupils study real-life work based case studies and complete projects and assessments which contribute to achieving each unit studied. In order to achieve each unit, pupils must achieve against a set of outcomes. Assessment is continuous so that the pupil can analyse and improve their performance as they would in a real workplace. The results are graded as Pass, Merit or Distinction.
