What the college says

This qualification is equivalent to one A level in UCAS points. The aim of the course is to provide a coherent introduction to the study of the business sector. It incorporates a broad study of the core of business in the areas of business environment, finance, marketing and human resources. It is for students who are interested in learning about the business sector alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in business-related courses.

What you need to get on

Grade 4 or higher in GCSE English and Mathematics, as well as an APS of 3.83 or above if combined with other BTEC courses.

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.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
