This work related course is an alternative to A level business and is suitable for you if you are considering a career in business, studying a business related degree or thinking of running your own business in the future. It will give you a broad overview of the business sector and the chance to apply your learning to some real business situations. It's roughly equivalent to 1 A level and is generally taken over 2 years alongside other level 3 subjects. There are three core units that will give you an introduction to the business environment, working in business and customers and communication. You'll also study two optional units that cover a wide range of topics relevant to a specific aspect of business: for example marketing, accounting, human resources or business planning.
The minimum entry criteria for studying Level 3 subjects at Millom School Sixth Form are: 2 grades at grade 4 or above in GCSE English and mathematics plus 3 grades at grade 4 or above in other subjects. There is no requirement for any specific prior learning.
The following two units are externally assessed through written exams: The business environment and Working in business. Students must also complete 3 internally assessed units during their two year course. One of these units (Customers and communication) is mandatory and the other two are optional.
