Historie

BISS is a candidate school for the Diploma Programme. The school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that BISS believes is important for our students. The British International School of Stavanger is fully accredited to deliver the IB Middle Years Programme as well as being a candidate school delivering the IB Primary Years Programme.



BTEC vocational qualifications, designed to meet the needs of employers and supporting progression to university, are work related and suitable for a wide range of students. The courses provide a more practical, real-world approach to learning. They can be taken in place of the IB Diploma and the extended diploma is the equivalent of three UK ‘A’ levels.

BTEC’s are widely recognized by schools, universities, employers and professional bodies across the UK and in over 100 countries around the world. BTEC assessment is not examination based. BTEC is ideal for students who find the exam process daunting and struggle to see how exams fit into the real world of work. In this respect students can concentrate on a subject they really enjoy.

The college is currently offering courses in:

BTEC National Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport (Development, Coaching and Fitness)
BTEC National Level 3 Extended Diploma in Travel & Tourism
BTEC National Level 3 Extended Diploma in Children’s Play, Learning and Development
BTEC National Level 3 Diploma in IT & Engineering – (Course in Development)
