BTECs are widely recognized by industry and higher education as the vocational alternative to A Levels. We offer two options – the Extended Certificate (equivalent to one A Level) or the Diploma (equivalent to two A Levels). The content reflects the demands of employers and universities and has a mixture of internal and external assessments. Assessment is through coursework, controlled assessments, and a written exam. There is also a requirement for students to participate in practical activities such as helping to organize an event and taking part in mock interviews for recruitment. In Year One, you will learn about a variety of types of business, how to develop effective marketing communications, and the importance of budgeting and financing a business. In Year Two, you will build on your skills from Year One and study international business, digital marketing, and event organization. During your two years of study, you will undertake a work placement. You will also hear from a variety of industry speakers and attend master classes, workshops, trips, and conferences.
Requires four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and maths and may include a BTEC.
You will be assessed by a mixture of coursework and exams. If you are studying the Extended Certificate you will complete two exams and two assessments using coursework. If you undertake the Diploma you will undertake three exams and five coursework units.
