What the college says

The first thing to note is that this course is the equivalent of an A-level and carries the same number of UCAS points. It is also HUGELY successful and is frequently a student's best grade at the end of sixth form. Almost ALL students complete the two year course, rather than dropping it as a 4th choice. This is because they achieve so highly. Why study Business? It is relevant to EVERYBODY! When you leave school/university you will either go to work in someone else's business or start your own. So having a good understanding of how a business works will give you a great start! The BTEC course focuses heavily on providing you with the business skills that you will need. What will I Learn? This course covers the same areas as the A-Level. Business organisations provide us with goods and services on a local and national scale. You will learn about how businesses start up, how they are managed successfully and what can go wrong. You will learn how workers are recruited and managed, how products are made and marketed, and how a business manages its finances.
