In addition, they also cover real life activities such as writing and presenting business plans. The BTEC in Business qualifies for UCAS points. It gives students a wide choice of progression options into further study, training or relevant employment in the business sector. Students who successfully complete the qualification will be well equipped to move onto degrees, BTEC Higher National Diplomas or Modern Apprenticeships. The new BTEC Nationals in Business use a combination of assessment styles to give students confidence that they can apply their knowledge to succeed in the workplace and have the study skills to continue learning throughout their career. This range of vocational assessments � both practical and written � mean students can showcase their learning and skills to best effect when they take their next step, whether that�s supporting applications to higher education courses or to potential employers.
