The Brunei Darussalam Vocational and Technical Education Council (BDTVEC) was established in May 1991, and is now the national awarding body for vocational and technical qualifications in Brunei Darussalam. Through this local awarding body, the provision of vocational and technical education (VTE) in the country has become more flexible and effective.

For a number of years, vocational and technical qualifications had been provided by foreign accrediting bodies such as the Business and Technician Education Council (BTEC) and the City and Guilds (C&G) of London Institute to name a few.  In view of the local economic and industrial developments, and to respond to the demand for varied and quality vocational and technical  education and training locally, the Council assumed its main principal responsibility to provide Bruneians with skills related vocational and technical  qualifications needed to develop competence in their choice of career or special interest.

The first programme submissions for the Council awards were introduced in August 1992, and the process of full take-over from foreign awards has been successful in the trade, technician as well as higher technician level programmes. 

To date, the Council has approved 97 programmes at various qualification levels in areas such as Building Trades, Business and Finance, Building and Construction, Engineering, Hospitality & Tourism, ICT, Science, Secretarial etc.
