BTECs are a great qualification toÌýkick-start a career in the heart of the industry.ÌýÌý
The most enjoyable part of the BTEC isÌýusing industry-standard equipment and software. I learn how to use equipment in a safe environment, surrounded by knowledgeable teachers, which inevitability gives me theÌýskills and confidenceÌýto complete work experience and enter the world of industry.Ìý
