BTEC
A BTEC qualification is considered by most universities to be the equivalent of an A-level. But this is more practice-oriented, not theoretical education. This is a more professional course, because it is more often chosen by students who are confident in the profession that they want to master. BTEC differs from A-level also by a more constant, regular assessment: if the final exams have the main weight in A-level, then the assessment of success at BTEC consists of an assessment of the tasks that the student performs throughout the program.
