This course will encourage learners to be inspired, motivated and challenged by following a broad, coherent, practical, satisfying and worthwhile course of study. It provides an insight into, and experience of, how businesses work, stimulating learners’ curiosity and encouraging them to engage with commerce in their everyday lives and to make informed choices about further study and about career choices. The specification content has been designed to capture the learner’s interest in the way in which businesses operate in the modern and changing world. It allows relevant industry examples which meet the needs of the course to be used. It provides opportunity to study a wide range of concepts which can be applied in a variety of contexts.
