The Main Ingredients of studying BTEC at RIC

What do RIC offer over other institutions and why could a BTEC be the right option for

you?

1. A practical approach to study

RIC through its BTEC courses offers a practical approach that can inspire learners of

all ages and abilities to pursue an internationally recognized qualification by

integrating real-life situations and activities with theories. Students undertake units

for which they have to present evidence of their understating based on work and

study.

2. Appropriate and continuous assessment

Exams work well for some students but not for others, RIC students taking BTEC

do not take exams. When studying for BTEC at Regent’s, progress is measured

throughout the course; this allows students to measure their own performance

on a continuing basis. By doing so, students are more motivated and engaged.

For many learners, the BTEC route with all work assessed through the year is a

better option than having many final exams at a short period of the year.

3. Small size classes and focus on individual needs.

RIC believes in providing high quality service to its learners. To achieve this, all

learners are encouraged to work to their best ability through activities and

projects. RIC’s teachers are truly international and professional. They are always

available for tutoring and overcoming obstacle. Small size classes are adopted

in order to give personal attention and focus to each and all the students.

4. Regent’s students’ work on projects, videos, posters and other activities on a daily

basis, and this gives exceptional opportunities to gain the skills needed to get into

work life.

5. Fitting study around other things

6. BTECs are flexible. They can be studied full or part time, alongside other

qualifications or work commitments.

7. Rewarding effort

At RIC students will have to meet deadlines set by the teachers and tutors, but work

can be done at home or at the college; this is a more flexible way than having to

work against time constraints to complete exams. Teachers and tutors monitor

progresses providing support and guidance individually.

8. Keeping your options opened

BTECs are a great way to instil a real world and practical approach to learning. They

can offer a student a full progression route; right through to a Level 5 Higher

National, which in turn opens the door to entry onto an undergraduate degree.

Having successfully completed a Higher National Diploma at RIC, our students can

apply to the third and final year of many British universities.

9. Staying up to date

BTECs are constantly being developed and updated in response to the skills and

demands of the employer. This approach ensures that learners gain maximum

benefit from their work and that BTECs stay up to date.
