Assessment

The BTEC Diploma is equivalent to two A-Levels. You will produce a portfolio of coursework that will be assessed regularly as well as sitting external assessments. A grading scale of Pass, Merit, or Distinction is applied to all units. There is a mixture of assessments within the Diploma in Business course, with 45% of the course being externally assessed. For coursework-based units, students will produce a portfolio of evidence showing that they have met all of the assessment objectives. This will be evidenced through practical assignments, oral presentations/ demonstrations, written reports, and project work. Submission deadlines are set throughout the year. You will need to ensure that you are organized and enjoy spending time working through a range of individual tasks. • Pass is equivalent to an E at A Level • Merit is equivalent to a C at A Level • Distinction is equivalent to an A at A Level • Distinction* is equivalent to an A* at A Level Unit 1 – Exploring Business Internal Coursework based Unit 2 – Developing a Marketing Campaign Externally assessed Controlled Assessment Unit 3 – Personal and Business Finance Externally assessed Examination Unit 4 - Managing an Event Internal Coursework based Unit 5 - International Business Internal Coursework based Unit 6 - Principles of Management Externally assessed Controlled Assessment Unit 8 - Recruitment and Selection Process Internal Coursework-based Unit 21- Training and Development Internal Coursework based
