Is this true?

So i heard that BTEC qualifications are not recognised outside of UK and that if you do a degree in UK with a BTEC, then it won't be recognised outside of UK, like in USA, Canada etc. Is this true?

Internationally, btecs are not recognised which is ironic as they meant to be equivalent to A levels.

The degree thing isnt true

BTECs are very good qualifications, however, you are correct they arent really that well known outside of this country, although being equivalent to A levels...

...but then this is the same a lot of the time for the american students in this country, i believe that some UK unis require american students to have done APs which are higher than the standard high school qualification, and some unis wont accept students just leaving high school even though this is the normal age to start uni, however if you were to explain to a potential employer or university abroad about your equivalent qualification im sure they would look into it for you

So what would happen if i wanted to apply somewhere in America to study at a University with a BTEC?

Email their admissions, attach an equivalence table (you can find this online) and also state in you email wjhat grade equivalent you achieved and ask would I be eligible to apply

I am not looking to applying, i was just using that as an example, but yeah, i see TONS of people looking down on BTEC on other websites, so i was worrying.

What about the degree?
