The department offers the Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate in Business as an alternative vocational qualification. The aim of this vocational course is to provide learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding to progress into Higher Education or employment. It gives learners an exciting opportunity to understand the wider external contexts in which business operate, as well as understanding the internal functions and their interdependencies. The assessment consists of external exams and internal portfolio evidence. All students are expected to organise a work experience week which will take place in the first academic term.
Students need to have achieved five Grade 4s at GCSE. Where students have taken GCSE Business they will be required to have achieved a Grade 4.
For the extended certificate, which is equivalent to a traditional A Level, students will study five units. The final Grade awarded will be Pass, Merit, or Distinction. The three mandatory units are: - The Business Environment 120 hours External Assessment - Working in Business 60 hours External Assessment - Customers and Communication 60 hours Internal Assessment
