In 2013, the UK government began to reform skills training, with the aim of making them more rigorous and responsive to employers’ needs. Pearson (Edexcel) has been working closely with employer groups, referred to as Trailblazers, in the development of technical knowledge at BTEC level 3. These qualifications were designed to meet the requirements of an engineering apprenticeship and also to prepare students for progression to a range of higher education programmes. Under government business and educational rules, these qualifications have been designed to be:
- relevant to individuals and employers and affordable for all sizes of business and for individuals
- rigorous and based on a robust future-looking occupational standard designed and assessed by the sector
- recognised as worthy of investment, giving a clear signal of the economically valuable skills, knowledge and understanding required in an occupation now and in the future.
This BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Electrical/Electronic Engineering has been designed for learners, providers or employers who wish to complete a larger size qualification as part of their on-programme delivery and assessment activity. The larger size will enable learners to select a greater number of optional units in their specialist areas as required by their employers and will also enable easier progression to higher education such as HNC/HND/Degree.
