Pearson Level 3 BTECs are accepted by international universities and higher-education institutions for entry to degree programmes in over 70 countries worldwide.

What sets EStars apart from the rest is that the courses are delivered by industry Esports experts (“EStars Teachers”), who give a real life experience to students as the course is delivered.

Speaking about delivering the qualification, Mags Byrne, Founder of EStars, said:

“I am delighted that we are working with the world’s education leaders, Pearson Education, to deliver the International BTEC in Esports. We have been working with school groups in the MENA region for some time and their most common question is “how can we bring esports into the curriculum?”. The International BTEC is exactly how this can happen. Not only will students receive a formal qualification, but they will receive a qualification doing something that they enjoy and indeed that they benefit from. The students can use the qualification for university applications or to use directly within the work place. We have an amazing team of EStars Teachers and we are also delighted to be a part of AD Gaming. I must thank James Hartt and Queen Ico- Mangubat who have supported us during our journey to be global educational esports leaders. I am so excited to be bringing this course and qualification to students globally.”
