Vocational Qualifications in Schools

Welcome to a better future

With the withdrawal of GNVQs and increasing government emphasis on vocational education, there’s a growing need for relevant modern qualifications that equip practically minded young people for their chosen careers.

These pages explain how Edexcel BTECs, Applied GCEs & GCSEs and Edexcel’s new ICT qualification in Diploma in Digital Applications (DiDA) have been developed to meet this need.  We have developed these pages to give you a concise outline of what vocational qualifications involve and a summary of their real benefit for schools and students alike.
