The qualifications have seen tremendous success globally, reaching over 1.05 million learners in more than 50 countries. 90% of BTEC students are likely to be employed after graduating.
“Our partnership with Hyderabad School of Business will strengthen our efforts in providing an immersive learning experience to students, equipping them with the confidence and expertise to thrive in the global workplace.
