Course summary

Why should I study BTEC Business? The BTEC Level 3 in Business is the ideal stepping stone to achieving a higher qualification in business and management. The course also provides learners with the opportunity to gain employment in the business sector after graduation. The engaging syllabus of the Level 3 course balances the professional, workplace skills employers are looking for in candidates with academic progression. Once a student has completed the Level 3 qualification, they can progress into employment and/or continue their studies in the same, or a similar vocational area. Course Overview Students of the Pearson BTEC Level 3 in Business will enjoy an exciting syllabus that covers topics such as business environments, and marketing and budgeting. Course modules include exploring business, and developing a marketing campaign. There are two externally-assessed units (Unit 2 & Unit 3) and two which are internally-assessed. This provides a good mix of both forms of assessment and differs from the more traditional structure of A Level courses. In Year 12 students will complete Unit 1 & Unit 2 and in Year 13 Unit 3 and Unit 8. The BTEC qualification will prepare you for university and will also help you to develop skills that you will need in the workplace. Through this course we endeavour to send well-rounded individuals into the workplace with the potential to be successful business people. What can I do afterwards? Students who complete the course have a variety of options including going on to study a business-related degree or working in the business sector. Alongside A Levels, BTEC Nationals are the most widely-recognised qualification for admission into higher education. Based on the course content, possible career opportunities include Marketing and Promotions, Recruitment and Accountancy. In addition, the nature of the qualification means that students will have developed the skills to work in a variety of other business-orientated industries.
