What the college says

Whilst definite plans to develop a career in the vocational area are not essential, students embarking on an Applied Business course should have a genuine interest in the world of business. Students must be prepared to work at a high standard throughout the course as the portfolio of evidence that is produced is used in the final assessment and grade allocations.

What you need to get on

Students must achieve at least a grade 4 in GCSE English Language or Literature. It would be desirable if students had studied GCSE Business Studies, but this is not essential.

How you are assessed

Learning a trade with tools and equipment, often in a college workshop or salon.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
