Pearson BTEC — frequently asked questions
No. Kindl TEC teaches the Pearson BTEC Level 3 International, awarded by Pearson (UK) and recognised by the IBCC. 'BTEC Islamabad' (bteci.org.pk) is a separate, unrelated local organisation offering different, competency-based certificates that it states carry no equivalence with Pakistani boards or universities. They share a name but are not connected — always confirm you're looking at Pearson BTEC.
