What is BTEC Business?
These qualifications look at business in a consumer society and focus on how business organisations operate. There are key concepts and principles related to success in the world of business and the skills needed to work in business. BTEC can give you the skills to lead you straight into higher education or into employment. They are predominantly assignment based, with some exams, offering a vocational route for students.
Why study BTEC Business?
The 120-credit BTEC Level 3 Diploma broadens and expands the specialist work-related focus. There is potential for the qualification to prepare learners for employment in the appropriate vocational sector and it is suitable for those who have decided that they wish to enter a particular area of work. It is broadly equivalent to two GCE A Levels.
- A visit to “Planete Chocolat” – Demonstration and tasting of chocolate
