Edexcel is a leading awarding body offering both vocational and academic qualifications in the UK and internationally. Last year around the world 2 million learners studied for our qualifications. We are owned by the publishing group Pearson plc.
Edexcel is a Security Industry Authority (SIA) endorsed awarding body. We offer one of the largest ranges of qualifications supporting the licensing process. We have approved around 200 training organisations and employers to offer BTEC security qualifications throughout England and Wales, many of whom are listed on the SIA’s own website.
With nearly a decade of experience in the provision of BTEC qualifications for the security sector we seek to work closely with you to support your organisation as you engage with the licensing process.
The security qualifications team at Edexcel is here to help you. The site contains many frequently asked questions but if you cannot find the answer to your question you can email us at security@edexcel.org.uk. Additionally there are downloadable copies of the qualification specifications and case studies showing how some of the organisations who work with us have met the challenge to provide training and learning support materials for the security industry. News of events such as workshops for administrators and the BTEC Security Training Forum are listed in the events section.
We hope that you will find the micro-site a useful resource. Please let us know what you would like to see on the site. security@edexcel.org.uk.
