BTEC International education system
The Kronenburgh International Business programs are built on BTEC units. A unit is a set of lecture days around one subject such as ‘Business Strategy’ or ‘E-commerce’.
BTEC is developed in collaboration with a wide range of students, employers, higher education providers, colleges, and subject experts to ensure that the qualifications meet their needs and expectations. BTEC developers also worked closely with the relevant professional bodies, to ensure alignment with recognised professional standards. Therefore, BTEC qualifications are widely recognised by industry and higher education as the principal vocational qualification.
BTEC qualifications in Business are designed in such a way that the students’ needs for high-quality professional education and the demand by international organizations and companies for qualified personnel are optimally met.
BTEC has inspired students in practical, interpersonal, and thinking skills for more than thirty years. There is a great emphasis on employer engagement and work readiness.
