Learners Triumph At Prestigious BTEC Awards 

The exceptional achievements of two Weston College learners were celebrated yesterday at the prestigious annual BTEC Awards. 

Finley Nock received the Silver award in Health and Social Care Student of the Year category and Emma Browning received the Bronze Award in the category Engineering Student of the Year.

The learner’s hard work and dedication was celebrated at the tenth anniversary of Pearson’s annual BTEC Awards hosted online on 25 June 2020 at 2pm.  

Finley commented: “I’m so proud that I was able to be recommended for the award, let alone win silver.

“This proves to me that with hard work, anything is possible! It has truly paid off for me, as I have won this award, and gained a place at Swansea University to study Adult Nursing.

“I am thankful for my placements, my job at Manor Park, my family and my teachers; especially Sarah-Jane who got me through the course and supported us all throughout the course.

Engineering student, and fellow winner Emma added: “I am feeling quite pleased to have achieved this award, and I'd like to thank my tutors and peers for their support and encouragement which has led to this.”

The 2020 BTEC Awards comprised of 17 categories and was hosted by presenter of the United Stand, YouTube influencer and BTEC Ambassador, Flex, with awards presented by Double Olympic Gold medallist Max Whitlock as well as actress and former BTEC Drama student at The BRIT School, Kellie Shirley. The expert panel of judges made up of Pearson’s senior leadership team, journalists and external experts, carefully considered the nominees before deciding on the winners.   

Principal and Chief Executive of Weston College Group, Dr Paul Phillips CBE, commented: “Despite nationwide disruption, the wheels have kept turning here at the College and we’re continuing to provide outstanding education and opportunities.

“I couldn’t be prouder of my staff and the students, in particular those who have shone so brightly in dark times.

“Congratulations to Finley and Emma, this success provides further evidence that the Weston College class of 2020 have not just survived, but thrived in unprecedented circumstances so their success deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.”

Weston College are proud to deliver a wide range of BTEC programmes. Many of which provide vital routes for people working in the sectors the government will be focusing on to rebuild the UK economy in the wake of coronavirus, such as construction and engineering.
