What the college says

The Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Uniformed Protective Services is intended to support progression to further study. Its primary purpose is to support post-16 learners in accessing higher education, and ultimately for learners to progress to employment in the uniformed protective services or related areas.

The purpose reflects the shift towards increased graduate employment in the sector, for example within the police service.
