Qualifications NVQ
Description: Quite simply, we provide qualifications that help to shape and change people’s lives.
Edexcel was formed in 1996 by the merger of two well-respected bodies, BTEC (the Business & Technology Education Council) and ULEAC (the University of London Examinations and Assessment Council). Both were leaders in their respective fields of academic and vocational qualifications. Now Edexcel provides a very wide range of qualifications to cater for all needs and learning styles.
