Is the BTEC national diploma/certificate in IT hard??

Question

I'm due to start in September so i was wondering if anyone has done or is doing this course..

Thanks

Answer 1

wel i was doing an a-level ict couse and its something like 65% coursework and the rest an exam, and i dropped it cos i couldnt keep up with it cos ther was so much 2 du.....and then a btec is all coursework...so im guessing its going to b harder than an alevel.

Answer 2

A BTEC National Diploma is the equivalent of 3 A-Levels, so I'm guessing it will be tough. However, you don't usually have any written exams so that part will make it easier.

Answer 3

I've taught on it. Piece of cake, in my humble opinion!

Answer 4

im doing it at the moment im in the lesson now infact its only hard if u dont listen put in the effort and u will sail through just dont mess around and u will be fine

Answer 5

Its a piece of p i s s mate, i did one a few years back without any prior IT knowledge and passed, so anyone can.

Answer 6

I did it a few years ago and I would say it's reasonably easy for anyone with a decent basic knowledge of IT.

It's a practical course aimed at proving you know your stuff. I opted software design and production. The biggest problem is finding suitable placements and projects to work on.

At the end you have a file of work  done which is your assessment. It's all fairly straight forward.

Answer 7
