They will be able to perform effectively in their chosen field and will have the qualities necessary for employment in situations requiring the exercise of personal responsibility and decision making. Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications in Public Services offer: • a stimulating and challenging programme of study that will be both engaging and memorable for students • the essential subject knowledge that students need to progress successfully into further study or the world of work • a simplified structure: students undertake a substantial core of learning in the Higher National Certificate and can build on this in the Higher National Diploma, with optional units linked to their specialist area of study • specialist units have been developed in the Level 4 Certificate and the Level 5 Diploma, so there is something to suit each student’s preference of study and future progression plans • refreshed content that is closely aligned with professional body, employer and higher education needs • assessments that consider cognitive skills (what students know) along with affective and applied skills (respectively how they behave and what they can do) • unit-specific grading criteria and Pearson-set assignments • a varied approach to assessment that supports progression to Level 6 and also allows Centres to offer assessment relevant to the local economy, thereby accommodating and enhancing different learning styles • Quality Assurance measures to ensure that all stakeholders (universities, colleges and students) can feel confident in the integrity and value of the qualifications • a qualification designed to meet the needs and expectations of students aspiring to work in a Public Services environment.
