What will I study? Do you have the drive and ambition to manage a business, or ooze enthusiasm to become an entrepreneur? Are you creative enough to market worldwide products or organized enough to manage a business’s finances? If so, then a business course may be the right option for you. A business course at Whitby Sixth Form will guide you to understand the ins and outs of businesses, exploring how different factors can test a business and push it to succeed. You will create a marketing campaign for a large business of your choice that someday may become a reality, and work with worldwide companies to investigate their finances. The units that you will cover are the core to any successful business and, one day, you could be the successful business that students are investigating. This course encourages independent learning, and with one-to-one support, passionate teachers, and real business scenarios, you will develop the skills and knowledge to become successful in any workplace. What do students do afterward? Many business students guarantee themselves a place at university by studying a business course. A Level 3 qualification in business is recognized in most universities. If university is not the place for you then there is always the option of a higher apprenticeship. BTEC business students have, in the past, landed themselves apprenticeships in top businesses, such as GCHQ and Anglo-American, and more and more businesses are taking on apprentices who have a business background.
5+ grade 4 at GCSE.
Units 1 and 8 – internally assessed (coursework); Unit 2 and 3 - externally assessed (exam)
