BTEC Extended Diplomas

dance1

The BTEC Diplomas are vocational qualifications to prepare students equally for direct entry into employment or for progression to Higher Education.

Each unit is assessed and graded through assignments based on work-related situations or activities with opportunities for teamwork and in-depth study, not written exams.

If you do not have a grade C in Maths or English, the College will expect you to re-sit these.

A BTEC National Diploma now known as the BTEC Extended Diploma is equivalent to three A-levels.

You can combine these with GCSEs. A suitably qualified student can combine these with A-levels and Applied A-levels to make up a total of four A-level equivalent courses.
