What the college says

The AQA Level 3 Certificate in Applied Business will give learners the opportunity to learn and understand the fundamental business and entrepreneurial knowledge and skills associated with working within a business enterprise. The learner will understand the way in which any venture in business (big or small) is a function of the relationship between its people, its marketing, its finance and its ability to deliver operationally upon its commitments. The learner will undertake a programme of assessment designed to assess not only their business knowledge and understanding, but also the way in which this knowledge and understanding can be applied to shape their practical skill in thinking and realising their own plans about business. For those learners who wish their learning to be practical and active, making use of their own business imagination, then the Certificate in Applied Business is a highly relevant qualification. The qualification culminates in Unit 3 Entrepreneurial Opportunities, which brings together key elements from units 1 and 2 into a practical, synoptic assessment of the learnerês readiness for entrepreneurial activity and opportunity. This practical unit can be used as the seed for further study in the Extended Certificate (via the Business proposal unit) or as the basis for the learnerês own initial business venture.
