BTEC Business Studies

Assessment

Course Content and Assessment During the two years, you will study the following core units: • Business environment • Business purposes • Introduction to marketing and business communication In addition to the above, you will study further units that are chosen specifically to match the skills of the group and the current business environment. 30% of the course will be externally assessed, through four examinations. There are nine coursework based units that entail real-life, work-based case studies and projects. The assessment process is ongoing, so it allows you to analyse and improve your own performance through your course in much the same way as you would in a real workplace. The projects, exams and controlled assessments that you undertake form the basis of your unit results which are graded as a pass, merit or distinction.
