The course is the National Extended Certificate in Business Studies, this is the equivalent of one A Level. The course uses a learner centred approach to study, with the main assessment style being project-based. Practical and thinking skills are both developed throughout the course, fully preparing students for the world of work or higher education. The course comprises 4 units of study, 2 of which are externally assessed and 2 of which are internally assessed. These units cover a wide range of Business topics including Business Environments, Marketing, Finance and Human Resources.
Students will need to have the standard College entry requirements with strong English skills in order to complete the written components of the course. GCSE or BTEC Level 2 Business is not an essential requirement for this course however; if level 2 Business was taken, then a minimum of a grade 4 (GCSE) or level 2 pass (BTEC) is required.
Two units within the course are project-based, where students will complete a range of tasks which build into a portfolio for each unit, one is a written exam and one a controlled assessment which is sat under exam conditions and externally marked.
