''BTEC National Diploma Courses'' (Level 3) (Equivalent in level to 3 A levels (A2s) and AVCE courses)

Suitable for:-

School leavers with at least four GCSE subject passes at A, B or C grades. In most land-based industries, science/double science will be a preferred subject together with Maths and English.

Those who have strong inclinations towards a particular vocational career, starting with technical level posts and leading, after experience, to supervisory and enterprise management posts.

Mature students are advised, in some cases, to consider Higher National Diploma courses. Career experience frequently leads to an ability to cope with HND level education and the two year commitment can be better spent in acquiring a higher qualification.

Possible outcomes include:

employment in, or leading to, enterprise management

employment in the ancillary trades as technical support

with further experience in the industry, management of the business is a possibility
