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.
