What the college says

This course is suitable for anyone considering a career in business including running one of your own. It will give you a broad overview of the business sector and the chance to apply your learning to the kinds of situations faced in business today. The course is a useful stepping stone to business related courses in higher education, or to business jobs and apprenticeships. It will also give you transferable skills that can be used across a range of careers. Equivalent to 3 A levels, it is more coursework focused than a traditional A level business course, so would suit you if you prefer being assessed on projects and assignments rather than a final exam.

4-5 GCSE's at grade 4 or above in relevant subjects

How you are assessed

One subject in depth, assessed largely through coursework and projects.

What this level means

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