Business offers a thorough insight into the world of business that all of us come into contact with every day. It covers all processes and types of jobs available in all businesses from the Accountant in the Finance department to the Personnel Manager in the Human Resources department. We do a lot of investigation into businesses to find out how they are putting the theory into practice in the current economic climate. A number of day trips may take place to tour chosen businesses and find out information from their respective employees. In business studies your opinion counts and is an important requirement in completing many coursework elements. What skills will I develop and where could studying this subject lead? The National Extended Diploma is a two year, full time course that meets entry requirements for learners who want to progress to higher education courses in business areas before entering employment. It can also support learners who want to progress directly to employment in job roles in business or business management and Higher Apprenticeships in the business sector. Much of the assessment in business is through written assignments so this will aid you in developing your ability to write clearly and succinctly. The coursework requirements encourage much evaluation and analysis of subject knowledge and particular business scenarios. This will develop important thinking skills and provide a greater understanding of processes in businesses as well as personal interaction. Discussion and sharing of ideas is greatly encouraged along with extensive preparation for work experience. This has resulted in the growth of students’ confidence and abilities within group situations.
Four 9-5 grades at GCSE with a minimum of a numerical grade 4 in English Language although a grade 5 is recommended. 1 equivalence to a GCSE subject is permissible.
Business is ideal for students that have a sound ability in English and enjoy thinking about and evaluating various situations. Are you able to imagine yourself in real life business situations and think of all the elements that might be involved? You will also be required to participate in work related scenarios, e.g. Engaging in a recruitment process, communicating with fellow ‘employees’ and evaluating the effectiveness of real business strategies. All work will be assessed through written assignments and some units will require some active participation. Mandatory units that we study are: Exploring Business Developing a Marketing Plan Personal and Business Finance Managing an Event International Business Principles of Management Business Decision Making We also study 6 optional units that could include the topics below: Recruitment and Selection Process Team Building in Business Investigating Corporate Social Responsibility Training and Development Investigating Customer Service Market Research Work Experience in Business Final Accounts for Public Limited Companies Pitching for a New Business Visual merchandising Creative Promotion Some of these units are assessed internally through report writing, delivering business style presentations and through practical work. Four units are externally assessed through examination and completing projects. The extended diploma in Business is the equivalent in size to 3 A-Levels.
