In order to prepare students for the job market, BTECS are vocational qualifications that incorporate both practical learning and theoretical instruction. BTEC courses are offered at TWI at levels 3 through 5, allowing students to go further with a variety of entry points even if they have not finished high school.

Pearson courses at TWI are divided into below categories:
