Entry Requirements
You need:
- GCSE English Language graded 4/C or above
- Three further GCSEs graded 3/D or above (Maths should be graded at least 3/D)
A vocational qualification at Merit grade or above would be considered but it should be accompanied by GCSE English Language 4/C or above and GCSE Maths graded at 3/C or above.
Other BTEC Level 2 qualifications are available, based on your qualifications.
What will you learn?
You will study the Pearson BTEC Level 2 First Certificate, which:
- has mandatory and optional units
- has two units that are externally assessed: Pearson sets and marks these assessments
- is graded based on Pass, Merit or Distinction
In addition to this you will:
- undertake an employer-led project
- complete an extensive period of work experience
How will you learn?
This course will be delivered onsite at the Roundhouse.
What will you need to bring with you?
There is an additional cost for the text book and exam revision guide (students are advised to purchase their own copy).
How will you be assessed?
The qualification includes two externally-assessed units (Marketing and Finance). This will help learners as they progress either into higher levels of vocational learning or to related academic qualifications.
The remaining units are internally assessed (assignments). Internal assessment allows learners to develop a wider range of skills and provides evidence towards meeting the unit assessment criteria. Evidence for assessment can be generated through a range of activities, including role play, practical performance and verbal presentations.
The employer project will be assessed with a project-based assignment, portfolio of evidence and presentation.
