Pearson, Edexcel's parent company, is delighted to announce the launch of the first ever National BTEC Awards.

What are the National BTEC Awards?
We hear so many stories each year from teachers and tutors detailing the truly outstanding performance of their students and colleagues, and their school or college. This year, we wanted to recognise these outstanding individuals and centres through the first ever National BTEC Awards: recognising vocational excellence. |
