Course summary

The world of Business is ever changing. All of us interact with businesses on a daily basis, and some of you will even end up running our own businesses at some point in the future. Whatever your current understanding of businesses, Business Studies will give you a significant understanding of the reasons businesses are set up, how they become and stay successful (or not) and give you a taste of the different areas of business which are vital to their survival. The BTEC Business Level 3 Extended Certificate is equivalent to one A-Level and carries the same level of UCAS (university entry points). Students learn to research, give presentations, produce papers and projects, work in teams, develop their communication skills and study a wide range of business topics. There is feedback at the end of each unit, allowing students to develop a clear sense of how they are progressing.
