This Level 3 vocational course covers some of the same areas as the A Level but in a different way, as well as covering some topics that are not included in the A Level course. It is the equivalent of one A Level for university admission purposes and runs over two years with a mixture of internal coursework, external exam and controlled assessment units. The course provides access to a wide range of possible career and higher education opportunities. Learning is mainly research-based covering different types of businesses, their objectives, how they operate, how they are organised and how they market themselves, as well as aspects of personal and business finance. Students develop skills that they can use in either planning their own business start-up, working within a small, medium, or large organisation, or for a degree course.
This course is highly recommended for students who prefer to be assessed on coursework developed throughout the year, as opposed to the summative exam process. Students will need to be able to manage their time effectively to cope with deadlines, so organisation is important. There is significant reading and writing due to the coursework but there is also an expectation that students will demonstrate inquiry, identify questions and raise discussions to deepen their knowledge.
