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 90-credit Diploma is studied in the first year (equivalent to 1.5 A levels). Students then continue to the Extended Diploma in the second year, which 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. 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.
