3 INTRODUCTION This document lists the current Cambridge Technicals s and Learning Outcomes () and maps them to the new Cambridge Technicals s and Learning Outcomes so that you can see where each learning outcome has remained, changed, moved or been removed. We ve also identified where the 200 BTEC units map to the Cambridge Technicals 206 units. See page 39. IT The Cambridge Technicals in IT have been developed to meet the changing needs of the sector, and prepare your learners for the challenges they ll face in Higher Education or employment. Designed in collaboration with experts spanning the breadth of the sector, the Cambridge Technicals in IT focuses on the skills, knowledge and understanding that today s universities and employers demand. Your learners will practically apply their skills and knowledge in preparation for further study or the workplace. When developing the Certificate qualifications we worked with universities to design the content and assessment of these qualifications ensuring that your learners are prepared and have the skills to progress to degree level. For the Tech Levels we worked with universities, industry experts and employers to design the content and assessment of these qualifications ensuring that your learners are prepared and have the skills to progress to degree level, an apprenticeship, or work. The three Diplomas have four vocational pathways within them that can be followed (at least one pathway must be achieved). Each pathway focuses on industry sectors and job roles that your learners will actually be able to do having completed a Cambridge Technical. We ve worked in partnership with industry to make sure your learners can progress directly into the sector in job roles that are appropriate for their age and experience. TEACHING AND LEARNING RESOURCES New resources are being developed to support your teaching of this new qualification. These will include Delivery Guides, Resource Links, Lesson Elements, Project Approaches, a Qualifications Calculator and a Progress Tracker.
