10 BTEC Specialist qualifications are work-related qualifications available from Entry to Level 3. The qualifications put learning into the context of the world of work, giving students the opportunity to apply their research, skills and knowledge in relevant and realistic work contexts. This applied, practical approach means learners build the knowledge, understanding and skills they need for career progression or further study. Sizes of BTEC Specialist qualifications For all regulated qualifications, Pearson specifies a total estimated number of hours that learners will require to complete and show achievement for the qualification this is the Total Qualification Time (TQT). The TQT value indicates the size of a qualification. Within the TQT, Pearson identifies the number of Guided Learning Hours (GLH) we estimate a centre delivering a qualification might provide.
