What are BTECs?
3
They are designed as specialist work-related qualifications and are
available in a range of sectors.
BTECs are made up of a number of units, which are usually
assessed through assignments that are both set and marked by
your teacher or course tutor. However, some BTECs contain
externally-marked tests, which may be paper-based or taken on a
computer.
