This is a vocational course that provides an alternative method of study to the traditional AS/A level Business course, but is a qualification of equal status. The course focuses on a range of skills relevant to the needs of modern businesses and a variety of topics such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Management. There is an emphasis on building up a portfolio of work, whilst also providing students with an element of choice often absent from AS/A level studies. It is useful both in terms of moving on to Higher Education or employment. The qualification can be used for admission to degree level courses or to begin a career in a business related area. All of the career opportunities open to AS/A level students are also available to Level 3 BTEC students. The Extended Diploma can be taken in the second year after completion of the 90-credit Diploma in the first. The Extended Diploma is equivalent to three A levels. Assessment is by the submission of coursework and assignments for each unit. Awards are graded Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction * (star) which are determined by an accumulation of points gained from all the work assessed on the course.
