Pearson Education Limited is one of the UK's largest awarding organisations, offering academic and vocational qualifications and testing to schools, colleges, employers and other places of learning, both in the UK and internationally. Qualifications offered include GCSE, AS and A Level, NVQ and our BTEC suite of vocational qualifications, ranging from Entry Level to BTEC Higher National Diplomas. Pearson Education Limited administers BTEC qualifications. Through initiatives such as onscreen marking and administration, Pearson is leading the way in using technology to modernise educational assessment, and to support teachers and learners.

ISBN 978-1-4469-0586-9 All the material in this publication is copyright © Pearson Education Limited 2013 Welcome to your BTEC First delivery guide This delivery guide is a companion to your BTEC First specifications. It contains a wealth of ideas for practical activities, realistic scenarios and independent learning, helping to bring the content of the units to life. The aim of this guide is to show how the content of the specifications might work in practice and to inspire you to start thinking about different ways to deliver your course. The guidance has been put together by teachers who understand the challenges of finding new and engaging ways to deliver a BTEC programme, which means you can be sure the guidance is relevant and achievable. Unit-by-unit guidance is given and includes suggestions on how to approach the learning aims and unit content, as well as providing ideas for interesting and varied activities. You will also find a list of carefully selected resources for each unit, including suggestions for books, websites and videos that you can either direct your learners to use or that you can use as a way to complement your delivery. Guidance about the new features of the BTEC Firsts is also included, providing an explanation of how these work and what you will need to consider as you plan the course. You will also find comprehensive coverage of assessment, including useful advice about external assessment, as well as extensive guidance about how to plan, design and deliver your assignments. Information about the Quality Assurance process will help you understand the different roles and responsibilities of individuals within your centre, and how you can work closely with Pearson to enable the successful running of your programme. This delivery guide is intended to be read in conjunction with the qualification specifications. ● The specifications tell you what must be taught and gives guidance about how it should be assessed. ● This delivery guide gives suggestions about how the content could be delivered. The suggestions given in this delivery guide link with the suggested assignment outlines in the specifications but they are not compulsory; they are designed to get you started and to spark your imagination. Remember that all assignments must go through internal verification before being delivered to learners. When combining units for a BTEC First qualification, it is the centre’s responsibility to ensure that the qualification structure(s) in the specification are adhered to.

BTEC Firsts are designed to allow learners to progress to other level 2 qualifications or apprenticeships, to junior roles in the industry they are learning about or level 3 qualifications. Around 100 BTEC First qualifications are available for level 2 learners, each linked to an industry sector. Learners may take BTEC Firsts alongside core GCSEs subjects such as English, maths and science giving them the balanced curriculum recommended by the majority of schools. There are four sizes of qualification available in the BTEC First suite: Qualification Size – Guided Learning Hours Equivalent in size to Age group Delivered predominantly in Award 120 1 GCSEs 14-19 School Certificate 240 2 GCSEs 14-19 School Extended Certificate 360 3 GCSEs 14-19 School/FE College Diploma 480 4 GCSEs 14-19 FE College INTRODUCTION Delivery Guide – Pearson BTEC Firsts in Engineering – Issue 2 – October 2014 © Pearson Education Limited 2014 2 2 Introducing the new BTEC Firsts in Engineering The BTEC Firsts in Engineering provide an engaging, robust, broad-based introduction to engineering. Learners can gain knowledge, skills and understanding through practical participation in engineering activities. This allows them to become familiar with the language, skills and processes required to work in the engineering industry. The BTEC philosophy of ‘learning through doing’ remains at the heart of these qualifications. Learners are given the opportunity to gain and broad understanding and knowledge of skills in engineering. Developing the qualifications in response to change The new suite of BTEC Firsts is now available on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The NQF fully supports both academic and vocationally related progression pathways. The BTEC Firsts have been designed to reflect recommendations as set out in independent reviews, consultations and government guidance on vocational education. As part of the development of all of the new BTEC Firsts, we have also taken into account many consultations with schools, further education, higher education institutions and employers. The Wolf Review Professor Alison Wolf’s Review of Vocational Education was published in March 2011. The Government has since accepted her proposals in full and the Department for Education (DfE) has produced a list of seven characteristics that all high-value vocational qualifications for learners aged 14+ should demonstrate. Specifically, they should: 1. be at least as big as a GCSE in terms of guided learning hours (GLH), i.e. 120 GLH 2. contain an element of external assessment, e.g. an externally set and marked test taken under specific conditions 3. contain some synoptic assessment so that learners appreciate the breadth of their course and the links between its different elements, rather than just taking units in isolation from each other 4. be graded, e.g. Pass, Merit, Distinction and Distinction* 5. contain content appropriate for learners aged 14+ 6. enable progression to further study in the same subject at the next level, and also support progression to broader study at the next level 7. have a proven track record, measured by an uptake of at least 100 learners in five centres.
