Welcome to the BTEC Information Technology Department
About your course
The course we will be studying is BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate in IT, which is equivalent to one A-level. BTECs are assessed differently from A-levels and include a number of practical units as well as coursework. This mixture of exams and coursework means you’re assessed continuously throughout the course duration and not just at the end of year 13.
Exam Board
The exam board for this course is Pearson (Edexcel). Below is the link to the exam board website
