BTEC stands for the Business and Technology Education Council. BTECs are specialist work-related qualifications. Brookhurst International School offers Pearsons’ accredited BTEC courses that are suited to those who want a more practical learning experience. BTECs are designed for students interested in a particular industry but who are not yet sure what career they’d like to do. A student could study a BTEC at Level 2 or 3, either alongside academic qualifications or as part of a wider program (such as an apprenticeship). You can also study a BTEC as a standalone course.
