BTEC Extended Diploma in Business student, Katie Bell, achieved a Triple Distinction* on her course, the equivalent of 3 A* at A Level, and has begun an Accounting Apprenticeship at Blick Rothenberg. Katie says:
"I opted for a BTEC as they allow you to specialise in just one subject that you are particularly interested in, unlike with A Levels. My BTEC course allowed me to study the different aspects of business in much more depth. BTECs also allow you to be more independent and take responsibility for your own learning, as you have to complete coursework in your own time. It allows you to be more creative and you can learn so much more as you often do a lot of your own research, helping to expand your knowledge.
"I would recommend Kingston College to anyone wanting to do a BTEC, as you will always be supported by your teacher/tutors and they'll ensure to help in any way they can. My tutor Gaby was a great help in particular and I thank her for all the support she gave me throughout the course. My BTEC has given me the opportunity to be selected for an amazing Apprenticeship in accountancy, showing that you don't always need to do A Levels or go to University to have a successful career."
