These highly qualified individuals often need to volunteer to gain the training required to get their foot in the door for entry-level employment.
To help address these issues, Pearson, the UK’s largest awarding organisation, has joined forces with Lantra, one of the UK’s leading awarding bodies for land-based industries. This partnership champions real skills for real jobs, offering level 3 Learners the opportunity to gain practical skills through accredited training and qualifications, complementing their BTEC qualifications.
By combining industry-based qualifications with work-related skills and certificates, this study programme - designed around specific land-based occupations - will help Learners get their careers off to the best possible start.

Therefore, it’s even more important to ensure our future workforce is prepared and skilled in these key areas, so they’re up-to-speed with working practices and ready to hit the ground running.
