Version 1 of the course, still to be updated in future
BTEC First qualifications were originally designed for use in colleges, schools and the workplace as an introductory Level 2 course for learners wanting to study in the context of a vocational sector. This is still relevant today.
The knowledge,
understanding and skills learned in studying a BTEC First will aid progression to further
study and prepare learners to enter the workplace in due course. In the Health and
Social Care sector, typical employment opportunities may include working as an
apprentice or in a supervised entry role, depending on specific job requirements
and age restrictions.
