BTEC Nationals 1-3:
Engineering
BTEC nationals level 3 are awarded as certificates or diplomas equivalent to AS or A-levels, and can be used as entry to university courses, or alternatively, to move more quickly into industry. BTEC level 1 and 2 roughly match to GCSEs and give a basic entry into particular industries. There are higher BTEC levels (4, 5, 6 ) too, for increasingly specialised job roles.
