Edexcel
Edexcel is the awarding body for the Fellowship’s training programmes.
Edexcel, a Pearson company, is the UK's largest awarding body offering academic and vocational qualifications and testing to schools, colleges, employers and other places of learning in the UK and internationally.
The Fellowship is delighted to be able to offer a customised suite of qualifications through Edexcel for our members.
BTECs are work-related qualifications, suitable for a wide range of people, designed to accommodate the needs of employers and employees as well as allowing progression, in some cases, to university. They provide a more practical, real-world approach to learning alongside a theoretical background, and can be taken as well as, or instead of, GCSEs and A levels in schools and colleges.
BTECs are recognised by schools, colleges, universities, employers and professional bodies in the UK and in over 100 countries worldwide. Having been established for over 25 years, their reputation is second to none, and they continue to grow and develop. In 2007, more than a million students enrolled on a BTEC course in the UK alone.
Members of the Fellowship are therefore able to undertake and gain nationally recognised and accredited qualifications.
