These are assessed via a combination of written assignment work and examinations. You will be creative in your provision of evidence and tasks set ranging from: assignments, role plays, displays, presentations, interviews, designing promotional material, off-site team building events and many more. We are very much a team in Business, and you are a key part of our team throughout your two years. The course is the equivalent of three A Levels and you are graded from a Pass to Distinction*.
