Recognised by the UK’s top universities, the BTEC Business programme is ideal for students looking for a more practical learning experience. It is designed to help students develop the commercial knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the world of business. This is an additional BTEC to be introduced to Tolworth Girls School and 6th Form subject portfolio. It is a two-year programme that is the equivalent of two A Level, and carries the equivalent UCAS points. This vocational course, which is administered by Pearson, offers an alternative to A Levels. It will enable students to study topics such as business development and strategy; financial planning and accounting; marketing; and recruitment and selection. The BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Business is widely accepted by universities and also offers routes into apprenticeships and direct employment. It can lead to diverse career paths in areas such as International Business, Business Management, Marketing, Digital Marketing, Finance and Human resources. We are delighted to offer the BTEC National in Business for our forthcoming academic year, providing students with the opportunity to gain insight into the working world. Lessons will be based around local and international business case studies and within each unit, students will conduct research, give presentations, produce papers, and take part in group work.
