Changes to the BTEC assessment regime from September 2014 make it increasingly important to quickly develop student’s skills so they can successfully tackle independent assignments.

The authors of this resource pack identify the skill and conceptual gaps that usually exist for learners progressing from level two to level three. They attempt to address these needs through activities and tasks across three main areas: key numeracy and literacy skills, practical scientific skills, and scientific concepts.
