ABOUT THE COURSE

What is the purpose of these BTEC Entry Pre-vocational Study qualifications?

The Pearson BTEC Entry Level 1 in Pre-vocational Study qualifications are designed around practical skills and tasks that place an emphasis on learners demonstrating what they can do rather than what they know in theory.

The qualifications give learners the opportunity to acquire and develop generic and transferable skills to complete tasks and demonstrate a level of achievement at Entry Level 1, which enables them to work towards independent living skills, progress to supported employment or progress to further learning at Entry Level 2.

Who are these BTEC Entry Pre-vocational Study qualifications for?

These BTEC Pre-vocational qualifications are available to 16-18yrs & EHCP learners at this level who want to continue their education and develop their skills for progression to further learning and, ultimately, to employment.

What do these BTEC Pre-vocational Study qualifications cover?

The content of these qualifications has been developed in consultation with further education colleges and other providers to ensure that they support progression to further learning and training.

The optional units offer a broad introduction to skills that should be contextualised and which will focus on specific relevant contexts that match the personalised learner needs, interests, aspirations, and future progression plans.

What could these BTEC Pre-vocational Study qualifications lead to?

These BTEC qualifications prepare learners for further learning at a higher level, working towards independent living, working with others and progression into supported employment. The development of skills and the generic approach of the Pre-vocational Study qualifications means that learners may choose a study programme that focuses on a particular vocational area of interest, enter a supported employment programme or exit learning at this stage equipped with the skills to be able to live independently.

How do these BTEC Pre-vocational Study qualifications enable learners? to progress?

The mode of delivery and assessment in the units is designed to build confidence in learning, working with others and delivering vocationally related activities. Learners will be given contexts and scenarios to help them develop skills and acquire knowledge through application.

Learners will develop pre-employability skills to allow them to progress to further learning and training, and, ultimately, to become successful in their future career choices.

MEET SOME OF THE TEACHERS

Malcolm Magee-Brown

Malcolm joined City and Islington College in 2022 as a Special Educational Needs Lecturer at the Finsbury Park Centre, teaching mainly ICT and Digital Media but also other vocational courses, Maths and English.

He began his teaching career in 2017 at Croydon College, as an unqualified teacher and Learning Support Assistant, teaching Business, Maths, English, and Employability courses, specialising in special educational needs and studying for his PGCE teaching qualification. Before teaching. Malcolm spent 30 years in the city as an investment banker in increasingly senior roles.

As an expert in emerging markets, he travelled extensively in Europe, Africa and Asia advising governments and companies on raising money in the international markets to build new factories and industrial projects. Latterly, he led teams of experts in privatising companies in Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, as they moved to market economies.

Passionate about teaching and education, Malcolm is very ambitious for his students, focussing on building their skills and abilities in the things they are good at. He is determined to help them get into worthwhile and long-term jobs in the tech industries and is constantly researching and talking to employers about work experience, internships, and jobs. He brings to these initiatives, commitment, a never-say-die attitude and a great sense of humour, all attributes equally important in a lifelong supporter of Carlisle United.
