Course summary

Business is the investigation of how businesses work efficiently in all aspects of their operations. It focuses on the internal functions of business and the formation of strategy and it also examines the external environment with which the business must interact in order to meet the needs of its customers. A Business classroom is an exciting place to be. Active discussion is encouraged and students will be able to draw upon their own knowledge of the wider world to better inform their understanding of the topics. The Cambridge Technical qualification allows students to be assessed through both external examinations and internally assessed ongoing coursework. The qualification will give learners skills, knowledge and a thorough understanding of business; it is equivalent to one full A level and will allow learners access to higher education on business-related programmes.
