A BTEC National Award is equivalent to one A-level
BTEC Nationals are said to be the ‘real world’ equivalent to ‘A’ Levels. They are designed to give students specialist and practical knowledge that focuses on particular aspects of employment in a sector. They can be studied on their own or alongside A Levels, allowing you to complete a varied and rounded set of qualifications. They are the most popular vocational qualification in UK further education and are recognised and respected worldwide.
