An A Level in Business may not make you a millionaire by the time you are 21 (although there is a chance it could!) but it will provide an exciting insight into the dynamic world of business, giving the basic skills necessary to produce a business plan and help to manage your own company. You will learn that every business decision has financial implications, and be taught how to calculate profit, forecast cash flow and analyse a firm’s published accounts alongside investigating into key factors which influence a business’s success. If you choose to carry on studying Business to A Level, you will explore themes 3 and 4 in addition to themes 1 and 2 which include: • Theme 3 - Business Decisions and Strategies • Theme 4 - Global Business
Our Sixth Form entry also requires an interview with the Heads of Sixth Form, after which a conditional offer will be made and will be dependent upon agreed GCSE grade requirements. Our standard requirement is Grade 6 or above in the chosen A-Level subjects (or relevant subject), Grade 5 or above in English and Maths and Grade 4 or above in non-related GCSE subjects.
All four themes will be assessed by three written examinations, each lasting 2 hours. All the examinations within this course comprise data response questions which require you to apply your knowledge to a business case study.
