We hope you find this at-a-glance guide useful and that you enjoy your new course.

GREEN - covered. In this case the content in the 2012 BTEC First Award (NQF) is very close indeed to the existing BTEC Level 2 First Extended Certificate (QCF). In the right hand column the title of the relevant unit and learning outcome is identified.

YELLOW - partially covered. In this case the content is partially covered, perhaps in learning outcomes in more than one unit from the BTEC Level 2 First Extended Certificate (QCF). Where there is some additional knowledge in the 2012 BTEC, this is stated in the left hand column under the heading NEW CONTENT.

RED - not covered. In this case the content in the 2012 BTEC First Award (NQF) is new. It will appear in the left hand column so you can see immediately what you will need to teach.

This table maps the content of the new BTEC First Award in Performing Arts for level 2 learners (NQF), shown in the left hand column, against the content of the current BTEC Level 2 First Extended Certificate in Performing Arts (QCF) in the right hand column. This mapping will help you transition from one specification to the other by highlighting where there are changes in content, particularly where there is new content which will need to be delivered to help your learners prepare for the new assessment.

In order to make the table easy to use and to demonstrate new content we have used a ‘traffic lights’ colour scheme as follows:
