About this course

BTEC Level 3 Business Course in Bingley. Classes run at Bingley Grammar School, full-time during the day.

This BTEC covers how businesses operate, how they market products, and how they manage people and finance. You'll also build skills in communication, teamwork, and research. These are useful across many careers, not just business. The course runs over two years and combines coursework with exams. You'll need at least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above, including Maths and English, to join the Sixth Form.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Foundation Diploma in Business.

Who this course is for

If you're interested in business and want to follow a work related route to higher education or employment, this course is for you. Equivalent to 1 and 1/2 A levels, you can combine it with other level 3 qualifications that either complement or contrast with business. It would suit you if you prefer a combination of coursework and exams to exam only courses. You'll also get transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis that are useful in a wide range of non-business careers.
