About this course

Free BTEC Level 3 Business Course in Lincoln. Classes run at The Priory Witham Academy, full-time during the day.

At this centre, the course sits within a legal pathway. You'll study it alongside Applied Law and Criminology. It counts as the equivalent of one A level and combines well with other Level 3 subjects. The course covers business fundamentals including finance, marketing, and how organisations operate. It typically takes two years to complete.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business.

Who this course is for

This course is part of our legal pathway. This means you will also study Applied Law and Criminiology. If you're interested in business but not ready to commit to a totally work related route to further study or employment, this course will give you the chance to get a taste of business, alongside other subjects such as A levels or other work related qualifications. Equivalent to 1 A level, the course combines well with most other Level 3 subjects and would suit you if you prefer a combination of coursework and exams to a linear course with a final exam. You don't need any previous qualifications or experience in business and the course will give you useful transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis that are useful in a wide range of careers.
