KGV College offers a wide range of BTEC courses. Our
BTECs are extremely successful – we consistently
achieve a 100% pass rate across all programmes, with
a significant number of students gaining high grades.
Our BTEC staff are highly trained, experienced subject
specialists with a passion for vocational learning.
BTECs provide a practical, real-world approach to
learning without sacrificing essential subject theory.
You are assessed by assignments rather than exams –
ideal if you find exams difficult or challenging.
BTECs give you the skills and knowledge needed to
progress to university or directly into employment. In
addition, BTECs also develop essential skills such as
report writing, presenting, team work and time
management. BTECs are highly valued by universities,
employers and professional organisations across the UK
and throughout over 80 countries world wide.
BTECs are inspiring and engaging - students at KGV
really enjoy BTECs as they can specialise in areas of
learning linked with work that they are interested in, for
example sports coaching or music production.
