We provide ongoing strategic and practical support for leaders and teaching teams responsible for vocational qualifications — helping them to meet awarding body requirements, strengthen teaching and assessment, and improve results.
We act as a BTEC & AAQ standards partner for schools that want confidence in their vocational provision.
Our work typically includes:
-
Identify risks and gaps in moderation or inspection
-
Quality Assurance reviews/audits to ensure compliance
-
Curriculum and pathway planning for BTEC/AAQ programmes

This support is delivered through termly and annual partnerships, not one-off training days — so schools have consistent, expert oversight throughout the academic year.
Policy & System-Level Advisory
Alongside bespoke consultancy support for teachers, schools, and trusts delivering BTEC and AAQ programmes, Huie Consulting contributes practitioner-led insight to education policy discussions relating to vocational education and post-16 pathways.
Drawing on over 20 years’ experience in education and direct work with schools nationally, our focus is on helping decision-makers understand how policy reforms play out in classrooms, assessment, and accountability frameworks.
Areas of particular interest include:
-
Vocational and technical education reform (BTECs, AAQs and post-16 pathways)
-
Post-16 accountability, quality assurance, and governance
-
Equity and social mobility within vocational routes
-
Apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships as progression pathways
We welcome engagement with MPs, parliamentary groups, civil servants, and policy organisations seeking evidence-based insight grounded in front-line vocational education practice.
