Five of the six units making up this qualification are mandatory. Learners must choose one optional unit from a range of three to complete the six units required for the qualification. Three out of the six units making up this qualification comprise the AQA Level 3 Certificate in Applied Business (AS equivalent). In the qualification, the learner will cover topics such as: • the role of finance in planning an enterprise, analysing and making financial decisions. • how business organisations use the human, physical and financial resources at their disposal to achieve their dynamic goals. • the nature of enterprising behaviour and how this can be personally utilised to best exploit entrepreneurial opportunities within specific market conditions. • how managers organise, motivate and lead employees through change to achieve business objectives. • the skills and processes required to develop, present and evaluate a business proposal. • the skills and processes required to develop an e-business proposal for a new business. • the planning, coordination and management of a one-off event to support a business proposal. • the development of a marketing communications mix for a business proposal and a schedule of marketing communications. Each unit is based on four key business themes: people, markets, finance and operational delivery, which ensure that the qualification has a synoptic approach to learning.
An academic requirement for entry into our Sixth Form is a minimum of five GCSEs at grade 5 or above although, in reality, the majority of our students significantly exceed this requirement.
This qualification is 360 guided learning hours and is made up of five mandatory units, plus one optional unit from a choice of three. Three of the five mandatory units are external assessments, all other units are internally assessed. If boys complete 1 year of the qualification they can cash in for a ‘Level 3 Certificate in Applied Business’ which is worth more UCAS points than an AS level qualification. If boys want to complete 1 year of study only they will complete the first three mandatory units. To qualify for the certificate or the extended certificate boys must pass all units.
