Pearson in Practice in the UAE

Our Programmes

Pearson in Practice currently offers Edexcel BTEC qualifications. BTECs are highly regarded and desirable qualifications which help people develop skills  and progress to employment or to higher education. Pearson in Practice currently deliver two different levels of programme, these include:
  • Diploma: Equivalent to 2 x UK A-Levels and can act as a pathway to either University or to a sustainable career
     
  • Extended Diploma: A higher level programme than the Diploma and is equivalent to 3 x UK A-Levels and can act as a pathway to University, or equally a pathway into a sustainable career

Both of these programmes start with an intensive but highly rewarding period of time in our training centre in Knowledge Village. The Diploma can be completed during this intensive period of time. However, to complete the Extended Diploma, the learner also has to complete either an Internship with an employer through the established links we have with employers in the region, or through home study for the final element of the programme.

Pearson in Practice in Dubai will be offering the below programmes for September 2012:
