Course summary

The BTEC Certificate Applied Law aims to give a basic introduction to study of the legal sector. In addition to legal content, the qualification will enable learners to develop the transferable and higher-order skills that are highly regarded by higher education providers and employers. Students can study similar areas of English Law to those that are covered in the A-level course. However, the course is assessed primarily through coursework and externally marked assessments. This qualification gains UCAS points which are of equal value to those given to A-levels and is therefore very useful to students applying for university places, apprenticeships or employment.
