The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate is the equivalent of one A Level, with the equivalent UCAS points to achieve a place at university. This course suits a learner who prefers a continual assessment method without the pressure of one terminal examination. This course will give you an excellent grounding in the vocational skills and knowledge required for all types of work in the business environment. This varied work-related course is taught by experienced and enthusiastic teachers in conjunction with external speakers. All of the units will have a real life business focus.
- 5 GCSES at Grade 4 or above (in any subjects). - Students applying for BFS Sixth Form will require 5 GCSEs at Grade 9-4 (including English).
Students will be assessed continually throughout the year, through bespoke assignments and external assessment, which will take place twice during the course. Each assessment allows students to achieve either a pass, merit or distinction which translates to the equivalent of a Grade E, C and A respectively. Students will work on entrepreneurial assignments in order to give a feel for the practical workings of a modern business. It is hoped that students will be able to hone their skills in the national ‘Young Enterprise’ competition.
