offer BTECs.
They are a helpful qualification if you want a mix of going out into the
workplace whilst at the same time, spending some time at college, and gaining
a qualification.
BTECs have been around for 25 years and their reputation is second to none.
They're recognised by schools, colleges, universities, employers and professional

Many industry and professional bodies offer exemptions to successful BTEC
