Academic qualifications are typically classroom-based qualifications which are assessed externally through formal exams or moderated coursework, whereas vocational qualifications are typically taught in a hands-on manner and assessed internally by the tutor or trainer throughout the course, via the completion of practical assignments. The BTEC vocational qualifications are work-related qualifications offered by PEARSON EDEXCEL, suitable for a wide range of learners, built to accommodate the needs of employers and also allow progression to university. They provide a more practical, real-world approach to learning alongside a key theoretical background in a particular field of study. With their strong emphasis on developing practical skills inculcating specialist knowledge and understanding for a particular sector, BTEC Higher Nationals are recognised internationally by employers as providing learners with the key concepts and practical skills for direct progression to, or within, employment. BTEC Qualifications consist of 7 levels First introduced in 1984, BTEC which stands for 'Business and Technology Education
