Business is a major part of everyone’s life and anybody who has a good idea about how businesses work is at an immediate advantage in the future. There are significant career opportunities in business structures, ethics, the economy, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. This Advanced course is for students who are interested in learning about the business sector with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in business-related subjects. The content is designed to engage students through topics and issues that are relevant in today’s society. Course Content: Learners will study three mandatory units: ● Unit 1: Exploring Business ● Unit 2: Developing a Marketing Campaign (External Exam) ● Unit 3: Personal and Business Finance (External Exam) This qualification includes a choice of 20 optional units, including: ● Unit 27: Work Experience in Business Progression Opportunities: The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Business is widely accepted and accredited by the great majority of universities as an excellent foundation for degree study. Business Studies is one of the fastest-growing university subjects and one of the largest. You will be able to go on to a wide variety of degree courses in Business, Management and many related subjects or you can use your BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Business to access the professional world when you leave school. The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Business will prepare you particularly for a career in Business, Management, Administration, Marketing, Human Resources etc., but wherever you end up working, it is likely to be in a business. Speakers, Trips, Conferences or Other Educational Opportunities The Business Studies department undertakes an annual trip to Cadbury World. Conferences that students attend are those based on the very popular Tutor2u courses, where students have the opportunity to liaise with students from other schools and examiners. The students also had an opportunity to take part in an online workshop organised by PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC), to help them gain an exclusive insight into the world of business, accounting, and technology, and see what it's really like to work with PcW on their degree and apprenticeship programmes. The students also have the opportunity to chat directly with a member of the PwC team. We have had a speaker from the Bank of the England come in to deliver a talk on the role of banks and financial institutions, to enable students to apply their knowledge and understanding and bring the economy to life in the classroom. For further information, see Mrs Maclean-Thomas
At least 4 GCSE grades 9-4, including English and Maths. Although not essential, it would most definitely be of benefit to have studied this subject at GCSE.
