BTEC Level 2 Diploma in IT (Edexcel 500/6789/8)
What are BTEC Firsts?
BTEC First qualifications are undertaken in further education and sixth-form colleges, schools and by other
training providers, introduced in 1983. The BTEC courses purpose, approaches to teaching, learning and assessment are established and understood by teaching professionals, employers and learners alike.
The BTEC First qualifications we are offering within this specification have been revised to fit the new Qualifications and
Credit Framework (QCF).
As such the revised titles are:
Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Certificate in Business
Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Business
Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Business.
Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Diploma – 60 credits
The 60-credit BTEC Level 2 Diploma extends the specialist work-related focus from the BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate. There is potential for the qualification to prepare learners for employment in the appropriate vocational sector and it is suitable for those who have decided that they wish to enter a particular area of work. It is broadly equivalent to four GCSEs.
Some learners may wish to gain the qualification in order to enter a specialist area of employment or to progress to a Level 3 programme. Other learners may want to extend the specialism they studied on the BTEC Level 2 Certificate or the BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate programme.
The predecessor qualification to the BTEC Level 2 Diploma is the Edexcel Level 2 BTEC First Diploma accredited onto the National Qualifications Framework, which has the same equivalences, overall size and focus to the revised QCF-accredited qualification.
