Portfolio of Evidence
The quality assurance system for BTEC Professional qualifications, as higher-level vocational qualifications at Level 4 to 8 on the NQF, will comprise three main components:
• approval process — a control measure to confirm that individual centres (and programme teams) are appropriately resourced and competent to deliver a BTEC Level 4 to 8 programme of study
• monitoring of centres — a method of monitoring centres’ internal quality systems to ensure ongoing fulfilment of initial requirements and, where appropriate, enhancement of those requirements to accommodate new qualifications
• independent assessment — a measure that provides independence within the assessment process, so that the certificated outcomes for each learner are not reliant on determinations by individuals or groups with a vested interest in the outcome. This measure should be consistent and reliable over time, and should not create unnecessary barriers.
Individual units and the whole qualification are only graded pass/not a pass.
Candidates must complete all units from Group A plus six units from Group B
  • A  -  Mandatory units
  • B  -  Optional units
