What the college says

The BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma is regarded as equivalent in level to 3 A levels; as such it can lead to university courses as well as further education. The Diploma provides both a broad foundation of business education and a firm basis for specialism in a selected avenue of business activity. The BTEC National Diploma cannot be combined with A levels. A BTEC National Diploma is a practical, work-related course within the field of business. Students learn by completing projects and assignments that are based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands.The course is 60% internal assignments (coursework) and 40% external assessments (exams). It may be attractive to students who are not confident when it comes to exams. It is not suitable for pupils who find it difficult to cope with coursework. Thirteen units will be completed over the two year course: Unit 1 Exploring Business, Unit 2 Developing a Marketing Campaign, Unit 3 Personal and Business Finance, Unit 4 Managing an Event, Unit 5 International Business, Unit 6 Principles of Management, Unit 7 Business Decision Making, Unit 9 Team Building in Business, Unit 18 Creative Promotion, Unit 19 Pitching for a New Business, Unit 21 Training and Development, Unit 22 Market Research and Unit 27 Work experience in Business. An essential component of the course is a two week work experience where students can see at first hand many of the practical applications of work done in class.
