This course, giving you the opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills in a range of business areas, combines a Business BTEC Level 3 Diploma or Extended Diploma and an IFS (Institute of Financial Services) qualification in Personal Finance. You will be introduced to all aspects of business including finance, human resources and marketing. You will learn how businesses plan and use their resources, how they choose to organise their business, how businesses make decisions about marketing their products and where they get the necessary finance to start, develop and expand their businesses. You will develop independent research skills so that you can find out what real companies do in terms of their marketing and recruitment. Some assignments will be report based whilst others may require group work or presentation skills. Some students may also have the opportunity to study an AS subject alongside the BTEC Level 3 Diploma Business and IFS, subject to timetable arrangements. On your programme you will also study for Functional Skills or GCSE Maths and English qualifications, if you do not already hold a minimum GCSE grade C. You will also be expected to participate in our Wednesday afternoon enrichment programme; choosing from a wide range of options which can help you further develop skills that employers and universities look for.
