Course FAQs

What is Pearson BTEC?

Pearson BTEC stands for Business & Technology Education Council and was established in 1984. BTEC is a suite of international qualifications taught across the globe by leading educational institutes and recognized in more than 70 countries worldwide, including the UAE. 

Why should I enrol in Pearson BTEC?

There is a growing gap between what employers want, and the abilities of school leavers and graduates. More employers and higher education institutions than ever before are choosing BTEC. The content of the course is based on real employer needs, and students are assessed via the innovative BTEC assignment process, which gets students to complete tasks that reflect real industry challenges.

BTEC is also considered a cheaper alternative compared to a 3-4 year university where students have the opportunity to save up to 60%. Students can complete up to BTEC Level 5 (equivalent to second year of university), and transfer their BTEC credits in their last year to a university of their choice.

For units assessed with a Pearson Set Assignment, we provide the assignment to be used as the assessment for the unit. For the remaining internally set units, we provide Authorised Assignment Briefs.

For more information you can contact us.
