BTEC Nationals update Ongoing consultation with providers, employers and HE for revision • and updating of BTEC Nationals in Engineering. (First teaching in September 2015) Your involvement in the revision process and your feedback • would be highly welcome! We are now in the process of seeking extensions to the • accreditation of the current BTEC First and Nationals (QCF)
BTEC Nationals redevelopment – your opinions please! Do the existing core units cover the fundamental core content for an engineering • qualification at Level 3 (typically studied full-time by 16-18 year olds?) Have we included sufficient mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding within • the qualification? Are there obvious content areas missing from the existing qualification (typically • studied full-time by 16-18 year olds?) Are there new developments in our sector that are not currently reflected in the • existing qualification? Are there any content areas which are now out of date and not appropriate within • the qualification? What specialist pathways should we recognise within the qualification and why? •
