About this course

Free BTEC Level 3 Applied Science Course in Skegness. Classes run at Skegness Academy, full-time during the day.

This Level 3 BTEC applied science course covers biology, chemistry, and physics. You'll develop scientific techniques, data collection, and problem-solving skills over two years. The course suits learners who want breadth across all three sciences rather than a single subject. You'll need five GCSEs at grades 4 to 9, including a grade 4 in science.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Certificate in Applied Science.

Who this course is for

The BTEC National Extended Certificate in Applied Science is designed for learners interested in the studying across all three sciences of biology, chemistry and physics rather than specialising in one. You will learn on this course the use of scientific techniques and procedures.
