BTEC First Certificate Applied Science Schedule of Units to be covered Year 10

BTEC First Certificate Applied Science Schedule of Units to be covered Year 10 – 11 (2008 - 2009) Rationale of the BTEC First Certificate and Diploma in Applied Science This qualification offers an approach based on the learner taking on the role of being employed within the science industry. Teaching strategies reflect the nature of the work within science–based industries, using a series of assignments and activities encouraging learners to take responsibility and ownership for their learning. The qualification is 100 per cent internally assessed. Learners can progress to the BTEC Nationals in Applied Science (Industrial and Laboratory Science), Applied Science (Forensic Science), or Applied Science (Medical Science). Learners can also progress to GCE in Applied Science and to a range of BTEC Nationals in applied sciences such as Food Science, Beauty Therapy Sciences, Sport and Exercise Sciences, Pharmacy Services, Polymer Technology or Dental Technology. This qualification provides a route to employment as a science technician or assistant practitioner working in a wide variety of roles in the science industry or in organisations that use science. These can include roles such as: • a quality control technician/analyst, where the employee works in a production plant laboratory carrying out analytical tests using modern instrumentation and ICT and interpreting data • working in a hospital as a medical physics technician supporting the use of X-ray and other imaging/scanning instruments • working in a research laboratory in the development of new drugs, managing projects which include setting up apparatus, measuring and handling chemical substances, following procedures, carrying out observations and measurements, separating out and analysing products • working for a scientific magazine or journal, editing and proofreading articles on issues such as implications and applications of new scientific discoveries/developments. BTEC First Certificate and School and College Achievement and Attainment Tables points BTEC First Certificates attract points for the DfES School and College Achievement and Attainment Tables (formerly Performance Tables). The qualification attracts the same points as two GCSEs at A* – C, and contributes 40 per cent towards the threshold. For the detailed point scores for a pass, merit, distinction, and distinction*, please see the QCA Openquals website at: www.openquals.org.uk Structure of the qualification The Edexcel Level 2 BTEC First Certificate in Applied Science consists of three core units that provide a combined total of 180 guided learning hours (GLH) for the completed qualification.
