The BTEC Customised Framework allows centres to respond to specific requirements for a particular local need for a group of people or an industry and gain BTEC accreditation and certification. Centres are able to create their own “customised” BTEC short courses, or longer programmes, such as BTEC HNDs, BTEC National Diplomas, BTEC First Diplomas or BTEC Introductory Certificates.

There have been revisions to the BTEC Customised Framework from January 2006; click here for details on changes to policies. We are currently revising the BTEC Customised Framework Handbook. The January 2004 version (see here) is still available as a guide until the new Handbook is published.

The information on the BTEC Customised Framework has been split into the following areas: click below for more details:

• BTEC Higher Nationals, Nationals and Firsts
• BTEC short courses
