Pearson, the biggest learning organisation in the world with locations all over the world, grants BTEC credentials. BTEC is an acronym for the Business and Technology Education Council. 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:

BTEC Level 3 Diploma: These courses, which are equivalent to three A levels, provide a more in-depth look at the subject and more specialised information catered towards a particular career path or work role.
