How you will learn

The Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Certificate is assessed through a mix of internally assessed assignments and externally assessed exams or tasks set by Pearson. Internal units are assessed by your centre through coursework, projects, and written tasks. External units are assessed through set tasks or written exams under timed conditions. There are no end-of-course exams for every unit. Assessment is ongoing across the two years.
