BTEC Business follows on from GCSE Business, although GCSE Business is not a requirement for this course. The content is appropriate and consistent with current practice for learners planning to enter employment directly into the Business sector or take Business into Higher Education. The course covers four units. 1. Learners study the purposes of different businesses, their structure, the effect of the external environment, and how they need to be dynamic and innovative to survive. 2. Learners gain skills relating to, and an understanding of, how a marketing campaign is developed. 3. Learners study the purpose and importance of personal and business finance. They will also develop the skills and knowledge needed to understand, analyse and prepare financial information. 4. Learners explores how the recruitment process is carried out in a business and gives learners the opportunity to participate in selection interviews and review their performance.
