What’s the difference in the BTEC compared to the T Level?
Business Extended Diploma BTEC is suitable for learners who prefer to be assessed via coursework and for those who are not yet sure what career they would like to progress to as the qualification covers a wide range of business topics.
Business Management and Administration T Level is the new ‘Gold Standard’ in technical qualifications which have been designed to ensure that learners are employable and empower them to progress into management positions in the future. You can also progress to University or Higher Apprenticeships, upon completion of the T level. The T Level is designed to enable learners to not only learn about Business but to allow learners to specialise in Leadership and Management. The T Level is different to the BTEC in Business and A Level Business, as you will complete a substantial Industry Placement (315 hours). It is also assessed via 4 external assessments, two examinations and two projects.
Entry Requirements
Five GCSEs at grade 9-4, including maths and English, or a Level 2 programme at merit or distinction.
