This course will support students to develop their knowledge of various Business topics in a vocational context. It will develop transferable business skills including researching and selecting information, writing skills, working independently as well as in teams, decision-making, problem-solving, being creative, analytical and evaluative skills. For over thirty years, the BTEC has seen more students progressing to higher education than ever before; in 2013, over three times more students started UK higher education courses with a mix of A Levels and BTEC Nationals than in 2008. Employers also seek out BTEC-qualified students: four out of five BTEC students who progressed into employment considered BTEC as an important stepping stone towards their dream job. The course emphasises vocational, practical contexts with a range of areas to study. There are three mandatory units which are: - Exploring Business - Developing a Marketing Campaign - Personal and Business Finance There are several optional units such as: - Work Experience - Customer Service - Market Research in Action - Recruitment and Selection - Accounting
Grade 4 or higher in GCSE English Language or Level 2 Merit in BTEC Business.
Students create a series of tasks set in a work-related scenario which is tailored to local industry needs. Students complete these in controlled conditions, a task tackling an everyday challenge; some tasks also draw on pre-released information. There is also one externally assessed test to increase the rigour of the BTEC course.
