The Edexcel BTEC Public services is an exciting course that offers a real alternative to A’ Level. This is for students who prefer undertaking course work to examinations. Grades A, C and E are achievable on completion of the course, in addition to developing valuable practical employability skills. Despite a decline in the number of people employed in the Public Sector, it is still a significant number, standing at 5.9 million at the beginning of 2012. Of those employed in the Public Sector, a significant number still work in the uniformed public services. In January 2012 those employed in the Armed forces stood at 173,020 which was 1.7% less than that required. In 2011 those employed in the Police stood at 139,000 of which 15,820 worked as Police Community Support Officers and 18,000 were Special Officers. 18,000 are employed in the Ambulance Service. Demand for Public Services in the UK remains high, despite the increased involvement of the Private or Third sector in their delivery. Public Services, provided by Government such as law enforcement, health, defence and central and local Government remain in demand and whilst growth has slowed, will continue to have a vital role in the economic and social welfare of the nation. This course equips students to become occupationally ready to take up employment in this sector or to progress to Higher Education (HE) in university or college. By studying this BTEC, students develop knowledge, understanding and skills required by the sector, including essential employability skills, and apply them in real work contexts.
