BTEC Level 2 qualifications are equivalent to GCSEs and provide a springboard to employment or further study. The Extended Certificate is made is made up of 3 mandatory half units : Chemistry and Our Earth Energy and Our Universe Biology and Our Environment To gain the level of knowledge about chemistry, physics and biology needed for further study, the following 3 optional half units are studied: Applications of Chemical Substances Applications of Physical Science Health Applications of Life The Diploma requires you to study an additional three optional units, chosen to reflect the interests and career plans of the majority of students. Possible options include: Practical Scientific Project Science and the World of Work Working in a Science-Based Organisation The Living Body Monitoring the Environment Growing Plants for Food Investigating a Crime Science Science in Medicine Using Mathematical Tools in Science Designing and Making Useful Devices in Science Chemical Analysis and Detection Instead of progressing from the BTEC Level Extended Certificate to the Diploma, it may, instead, be appropriate to study for the Paa-VQSET Certificate in Laboratory Technical Skills which is excellent preparation for taking up a laboratory apprenticeship.
