What are BTEC Level 1-3 Specialist Qualifications?BTEC QCF Level 1-3 Specialist Qualifications are designed to provide specialist work-relatedqualifications in a range of sectors. They give learners the knowledge, understanding and skillsthat they need to prepare for employment. The qualifications also provide career developmentopportunities for those already in work. Consequently they provide a course of study for fulltime or part-time learners in schools, colleges and training centres.BTEC Specialist Qualifications also provide much of the underpinning knowledge andunderstanding for the National Occupational Standards for the sector, where these areappropriate. They are supported by the relevant Standards Setting Body (SSB) or Sector SkillsCouncil (SSC).On successful completion of a BTEC Specialist Qualification, learners can progress to or withinemployment and/or continue their study in the same, or related, vocational area.Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Award in Vehicle Immobilisation (QCF)The Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Award in Vehicle Immobilisation (QCF) is designed for peoplewho want to work as a vehicle immobiliser on private land, and who therefore require a licenceto practise. The qualification is endorsed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and learnerswho have completed it successfully can then apply to the SIA for a licence.Further information about who requires a licence is available from the SIA.National Occupational Standards (NOS)Edexcel BTEC qualifications are designed to provide some of the underpinning knowledge andunderstanding for the National Occupational Standards (NOS), as well as developing practicalskills in preparation for work and possible achievement of NVQs in due course. NOS form thebasis of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs). Edexcel BTEC qualifications do notpurport to deliver occupational competence in the sector, which should be demonstrated in awork context.The Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Award in Vehicle Immobilisation (QCF) relates to the NOS forParking Control Occupations.2BA022483 – Specification – Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Award in Vehicle Immobilisation– Issue 1 – February 2010 Edexcel Limited 2010

Quality assuranceInformation about quality assurance is given in the BTEC Security Qualifications CentreManagement Handbook.ApprovalWhere a centre already has approval for a programme that is being replaced by a newprogramme, the centre will be given ‘accelerated approval’ for the new programme. Othercentres wishing to offer a programme in a vocational area for the first time will need to applyfor approval to offer the programme.Centres that have not previously offered any BTEC qualifications will first need to apply for,and be granted, centre approval.When a centre applies for approval to offer a BTEC qualification they will be required to enterinto an approvals contract.The approvals contract is a formal commitment by the head or principal of a centre to meet allthe requirements of the specification and linked codes or regulations. Sanctions and tariffs willbe applied if centres do not comply with the contract. This could ultimately result in thesuspension of certification or withdrawal of approval.Programme design and deliveryMode of deliveryEdexcel does not normally define the mode of delivery for Edexcel BTEC qualifications.However, this qualification has been developed in conjunction with the SIA, which has placedcertain restrictions on how training may be delivered, specifically the relationship betweenguided learning hours (GLH) and contact time. Tutors may adopt a flexible approach to deliveryusing weekends and/or a combination of evening sessions so long as they do not reduce theprescribed contact hours or GLH.Guided learning hours and contact timeGuided learning hours are defined as the time that needs to be allocated to direct teaching andother classroom activities together with other structured learning time (eg distance learning andpre-course reading exercises set by the centre) and assessment activities. It excludes activitiesthat are not directed by the tutor, eg background reading and revision done outside of class time.‘Contact time’ refers to time spent where learners are in direct contact with a tutor, for exampledirect teaching, class discussions and supervised practice activities. It also includes all formalassessment time.Therefore, typical activities that are included in GLH but which are not defined as contact timewould include: structured pre-course reading distance learning e-learning.These can be called ‘non-contact’ activities.BA022483 – Specification – Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Award in Vehicle Immobilisation –Issue 1 – February 2010 Edexcel Limited 20105
The table below indicates the GLH and required contact time for each unit. It is important tonote that these contact hours are a minimum figure stipulated by the SIA. Centres should regardthis not as a requirement to use non-contact activities, but rather as giving them the opportunityto do so if they choose. Some centres might choose to continue delivering the entire course ascontact time, as before.UnitGLHMinimumcontact time1Working in the Private Security Industry1052Working as a Vehicle Immobiliser993Conflict Management for the Private Security Industry87.5Centres that are planning to make use of non-contact activities should ensure that they keepevidence of what these are and how they check that learning has taken place.ResourcesEdexcel BTEC qualifications are designed to give learners an understanding of the skills neededfor specific vocational sectors. Physical resources need to support the delivery of theprogramme and the assessment of the learning outcomes, and should therefore normally be ofindustry standard. Staff delivering programmes and conducting the assessments mustunderstand and comply with SIA requirements. Centres will need to meet any specific resourcerequirements to gain approval from Edexcel.Where specific resources are required these have been indicated in individual units in theEssential resources sections.Delivery approachIt is important that centres develop an approach to teaching and learning that supports thevocational nature of Edexcel BTEC qualifications and the mode of delivery. Specifications givea balance between practical skill development and knowledge requirements, some of which canbe theoretical in nature. Tutors need to ensure that appropriate links are made between theoryand practical application and that the knowledge base is applied to the sector. This requires thedevelopment of relevant and up-to-date teaching materials that allow learners to apply theirlearning to actual events and activities within the sector.6BA022483 – Specification – Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Award in Vehicle Immobilisation– Issue 1 – February 2010 Edexcel Limited 2010
Access and recruitmentEdexcel’s policy regarding access to its qualifications is that: they should be available to everyone who is capable of reaching the required standards they should be free from any barriers that restrict access and progression there should be equal opportunities for all wishing to access the qualifications.Centres are required to recruit learners to BTEC qualifications with integrity. This will includeensuring that applicants have appropriate information and advice about the qualifications andthat the qualification will meet their needs. Centres should take appropriate steps to assess eachapplicant’s potential and make a professional judgement about their ability to successfullycomplete the programme of study and achieve the qualification. This assessment will need totake account of the support available to learners within the centre during their programme ofstudy and any specific support that might be necessary to allow learners to access theassessment for the qualification. Centres should consult Edexcel’s policy on learners withparticular requirements.Restrictions on learner entryThe Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Award in Vehicle Immobilisation (QCF) is accredited on the QCFfor learners aged 18 and above.Access arrangements and special considerationsEdexcel’s policy on access arrangements and special considerations for BTEC and EdexcelNVQ qualifications aims to enhance access to the qualifications for learners with disabilities andother difficulties (as defined by the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act and the amendments tothe Act) without compromising the assessment of skills, knowledge, understanding orcompetence.Information about learners who have difficulty with English is given in the BTEC SecurityQualifications Centre Management Handbook.Further information is also given in the policy document Access Arrangements and SpecialConsiderations for BTEC and Edexcel NVQ Qualifications, which can be found on the Edexcelwebsite (www.edexcel.com).

Assessment criteriaThe assessment criteria of a unit specify the standard learners are expected to meet todemonstrate that a learning outcome, or set of learning outcomes, has been achieved. Thelearning outcomes and assessment criteria clearly articulate the learning achievement for whichthe credit will be awarded, at the level assigned to the unit.Unit contentThe unit content identifies the breadth of knowledge, skills and understanding needed to designand deliver a programme of learning to achieve each of the assessment criteria.Each learning outcome is stated in full and then the key phrases or concepts related to eachassessment criterion are listed in italics followed by the subsequent range of related topics.Relationship between content and assessment criteriaLearners should have the opportunity to cover all of the unit content.It is not a requirement of the unit specification that all of the content is assessed. However, theindicative content will need to be covered in a programme of learning in order for learners to beable to meet the standard determined in the assessment criteria.Content structure and terminologyThe information below shows how the unit content is structured and gives the terminology usedto explain the different components within the content. Learning outcome: this is shown in bold at the beginning of each section of content. Italicised sub-heading: it contains a key phrase or concept, each corresponding to anassessment criterion. This is content which must be covered in the delivery of the unit.Colons mark the end of an italicised sub-heading. Elements of content: the elements are in plain text and amplify the sub-heading. Theelements must be covered in the delivery of the unit. Semi-colons mark the end of anelement. Brackets contain amplification of content which must be covered in the delivery of the unit. Where it appears, ‘eg’ is a list of examples, used for indicative amplification or clarificationof an element, (that is, the content specified in this amplification could be covered or couldbe replaced by other, similar material).Essential guidance for tutorsThis section gives tutors additional guidance and amplification to aid understanding and aconsistent level of delivery and assessment. It is divided into the following sections. Delivery – explains the content’s relationship with the learning outcomes
