What the college says

Wouldn't it be nice to be an informed customer, to understand why your boss behaves in the way that they do, know your rights as a customer and as an employee and be able to show potential investors or employers that you know how the different functions of a business work together to create success? This course is designed so that you learn all of the above and much more; you will cover all of the different functions that operate within a business over the 2 years of study. A Level Business is structured so that you demonstrate your learning under exam conditions, where you will be required to apply your knowledge and understanding to a range of types and sizes of business organisations. The course is designed so that you will: *gain a holistic understanding of business in a range of contexts *develop a critical understanding of organisations and their ability to meet society's needs and wants *generate enterprising and creative approaches to business opportunities, problems and issues *be aware of the ethical dilemmas and responsibilities faced by organisations and individuals *take a more strategic view of business opportunities, problems and issues *acquire a range of relevant business and generic skills, including decision making, problem solving, the challenging of assumptions and critical analysis *apply numerical skills in a range of business contexts.
