Edexcel is one of the largest qualification awarding bodies in UK, and is approved by the official UK authorities, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA).

BTEC HND (Business) is offered as a two-year programme that is designed to equip you with the knowledge, understanding and skills required for success in current or future employment, or for progression to an undergraduate degree. Such qualification is widely recognized by many commonwealth countries and universities.
