I really enjoyed the theoretical side of my course, but also the practical side through my placement at a primary school. I highly recommend Skills Training as a learning provider. They are so supportive and will guide you through every step of your course.

1.What are the benefits of a BTEC?
2.Do universities accept BTECs?
Yes, universities do accept BTECs. Approximately one in four students starting university has a BTEC, that’s around 100,000 people. And it doesn’t end there – 90% of BTEC students are employed full-time after graduation (CBI Pearson 2018).
If you have your eye on a higher level (University) course, have a look at the entry requirements universities set out for it. Some Universities prefer to see an A-Level studied alongside a BTEC.
3.Which is better, BTEC or A Levels?
That depends on you and your goals. If you want a practical, hands on way of learning which is focused on knowledge and skills for a particular job, then a BTEC could be the way to go. A Levels are more theory based, but they also keep your options open.
It’s a common misunderstanding that BTECs are ‘easier’ than A Levels. They’re just different. Both require effort and commitment to pass.
A significant part of the BTEC assessment is from project work you do throughout the course, while A Levels are more weighted to exam performance.
