Level 3: Preparing your learners for their future
The future has never looked as complex and unpredictable as it does today, which emphasises the need for education to equip young people with the skillset they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. This is why our new BTEC Nationals (2025) are designed with a clear focus on the future. Our aim is to ensure that students are given every opportunity to develop the new knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to thrive.
