Windsor Academy is located on the campus of College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California. Our program is both on-campus and online designed to provide students with a world-class, hands-on education that prepares them for real-world careers. Through the globally recognized BTEC curriculum, your child will gain practical skills in their chosen field, working on industry-relevant projects and developing the expertise that employers value most. BTEC provides job readiness and is based on real-life work and studies. Learning should be fun, creative and relevant and not rote. The BTEC courses specialze in areas of learning that are directly linked to the work that is of interest to the students.
BTEC is an acronym for “‘Business and Technology Education Council’. BTEC is a work-related qualification suitable for a wide range of students, providing a practical, real-world approach to learning. BTECs give the students a chance to learn by gaining hands-on experience in a subject of their choice without the examination-heavy methods of traditional school/learning. BTEC encourages a more practical approach to learning where learners grow in their talents while also encouraging them to be more creative.
Ben Francis, the founder of the global fitness brand Gymshark, often attributes much of his success to the hands-on, practical experience he gained through his BTEC education. Studying a BTEC in Business and Technology provided Francis with real-world skills like problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and project management—key elements that he applied directly to his business ventures. Rather than solely focusing on academic theory, the BTEC program equipped him with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of launching and scaling a successful business.
The BTEC program’s focus on practical tasks and projects gave Francis the confidence to experiment with innovative strategies, such as leveraging influencer marketing, which played a significant role in Gymshark’s rise in the fitness industry. His success story serves as an inspiring example of how vocational education, like the BTEC pathway, offers valuable opportunities for students to thrive in practical, real-world settings, helping them become effective problem solvers and innovators in their chosen careers.
