Course summary

The Year 12 scheme of work offers a route through the Certificate of Finance course, covering all the sections and sub-sections in a logical order, including opportunities to develop the necessary set of skills required for interacting with the finance world. Guidance is given about any prior knowledge which is helpful or required. The order is by no means prescriptive and there are many alternative ways in which the content could be organised. There are opportunities for assessment all the way through the course which reflect what is expected of students in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 examinations.

Entry requirements

- 5+ GCSE grades at 9-5 including English & Maths. Preference to courses is given to those students who achieve a grade 6 in their chosen subjects.

How you'll be assessed

The teaching of topics in this sequence allows students to study and engage with the finance world, teachers will always try to relate the theoretical aspects to ‘real life’ financial providers and financial products e.g. banks and insurance companies that students can associate with. The specification and assessment should encourage students to follow finance developments and think critically about contemporary financial issues. Most of the assessment material is based on real financial situations. Following the Unit 1 and Unit 2 assessments, staff can prioritise students and/or topics that require further support in time for the Part A (E-Test) and Part B Paper (Case Study and Non-Case Study). The timing of the course allows for revision at the end of the units which can be used to fill knowledge gaps previously identified. Students will have the opportunity to complete a gap analysis following a test and with the continued use of www/ebi will understand how their responses can be improved.
