22 Why vocational studies? Provides the learner with a ‘taster’ of different vocational sectors Allows learners the opportunity to ‘try before they decide’ a chosen vocational pathway Provides structure to help learners who are unsure of their sector choice The units are engaging and practical and give learners a positive experience The mandatory units (self assessment and career progression) support learners in making informed progression decisions Units are taken from our BTEC vocational qualifications and therefore may be used towards achieving (RPL) the learners’ next level of qualification. Centres tell us that this qualification has been successful in re- engaging learners who are at risk of becoming NEET
