Business Studies

Assessment

This course has both internally and externally assessed components. Internally assessed units require students to: • write up the findings of their own research • use case studies to explore complex or unfamiliar situations • carry out projects for which they have choice over the direction and outcomes • demonstrate practical and communication skills using appropriate presentations and role plays. The BTEC Level 3 National Diploma has one written exam lasting 2 hours and two externally assessed coursework tasks, each lasting 3 hours. If you study a BTEC Diploma and Extended Diploma course, you are expected to complete all the work required for the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate by the end of Year 12.
