Businesses are all around us in everyday life, so an understanding of how business works will give students relevant skills that they can use for a lifetime. There has never been a more interesting time to study A-Level Business, with unstable markets, inflation and other economic factors all creating the environment within which we live. Understanding basic economic principles, how markets are affected by world events and how businesses assess their financial health enables students to make better and more informed decisions. Other areas of study include Marketing, Operations and Human Resources, all of which provide valuable skills for the future.
