From the BTEC course I have learnt to work independently. I have also developed many skills such as teamwork, leadership, listening, organisation and time management skills. These skills have been developed throughout my BTEC course as I have kept with all my assignment deadlines, worked independently during practical work and also worked with others in a group which has built my teamwork and communication skills.
