BTEC Nationals use a combination of assessment styles to give students confidence they can apply their knowledge to succeed in the workplace – and have the study skills to continue learning on higher education courses. This range of vocational assessments – practical and written – mean students can showcase their learning and achievements to best effect when they take their next step. BTEC Nationals use three types of assessment: Assignments - Students complete a series of tasks set in a work-related scenario which you can tailor to local industry needs. Tasks - Require students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in a reallife scenario they are likely to encounter in the workplace. They provide students work based challenges, where they are faced with realistic work conditions and time-based pressures. Written exams - Students draw on essential information to create written answers to practical questions in exam conditions.
