The business world influences everything that we see and touch. This course takes a broad view of business and allows you to form an in-depth understanding of the business world around you. The BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Business is a two-year course that is the equivalent of two A Levels in UCAS points. The course is made up of eight units. The units cover a wide range of topics and form a mixture of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Unlike the traditional A Level in Business, this course uses a variety of assessment techniques. Three units are externally assessed through a mixture of assignments and exams, and Five units are internally assessed assignments ranging from report writing, role play and presentations. In order to succeed at BTEC you not only have to demonstrate excellent numerical, analytical and evaluative skills but also time management, organisation and communication skills. The units covered are called: • Exploring Business • Developing a Marketing campaign • Personal and Business Finance • Managing an Event • International Business • Principles of Management • Recruitment and Selection process • Investigating Customer Service The ethos of the course is that practical skills and knowledge are just as important as the theoretical knowledge, and therefore the course relies heavily on links to industry professionals and numerous visits to businesses.
