KGV College now offers a range of BTEC Level 2 and BTEC Extended Diploma Courses. BTEC courses provide you with the opportunity to study a course which is assessed by portfolio work rather than examinations - if you find examinations difficult or challenging.

Through the 3 Year Advanced Programme the college offers a number of BTEC Level 2 qualifications which are equivalent to 4 GCSEs grades A* to C. BTEC Level 2 Diplomas are offered in the following subjects:

• Business
• Health and Social Care*
• ICT Practitioners
• Media
• Public Services
• Sport
• Travel and Tourism

When studying a BTEC First qualification, you can study a GCSE in Maths, English or Science at the same time and complete a BTEC Level 2 Award in Work skills. To progress from a BTEC Level 2 qualification to a BTEC Extended Diploma a Merit at BTEC Level 2 and a C grade in Maths or English is required.

A range of BTEC Extended Diploma courses are also available for you to choose from once you have achieved the entry requirements of at least 5 C grades at GCSE including Maths or English. Subjects you can study include:

• Business
• Health and Social Care*
• ICT Software Development
• Media
• Music Technology
• Public Services
• Sport

You can choose to study a BTEC Extended Diploma course which is equivalent to 3 A levels A*-E grades. This forms the main part of your programme here but a GCSE Maths, English or Science course can be studied alongside a BTEC Extended Diploma. You can also decide to study a BTEC National Diploma which is equivalent to 2 A-levels A*-E and then study an additional AS subject at the same time (individual AS course entry requirements must be achieved.)

THE ARMY FE BURSARY
KGV offers in partnership with the Army, the Army FE Bursary Scheme. This scheme provides any BTEC student at KGV the opportunity to apply for a Bursary of £1000 per year to support you through your studies in return for agreeing to join the Army for a minimum of 4 years after you have completed your course. For further information contact Ms Claire Martin.

* These courses involve a compulsory element of work experience which will require you to undertake a CRB check. This will be undertaken immediately after enrolment. Therefore when enrolling onto your course you will need to complete a CRB form and the relevant document required. Failure to do so could delay your work placement.
