About this course

BTEC National Foundation Diploma in Business in Leicester. Classes run at Leicester College St. Margaret's Campus, full-time over one year.

The course covers both business and law. You'll study Exploring Business, Personal and Business Finance, Developing a Marketing Campaign, and Managing an Event. Two law units cover the English legal system and employment law. Recent students have worked on live projects with local employers. You'll need five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and maths, to join.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel Level 3 National Foundation Diploma.

Who this course is for

Our exciting new study programme in business and finance will allow you to broaden your knowledge and skills across two related subjects. You will be studying core elements of business and how businesses implement different strategies to succeed and two elements of accounting/finance units will be incorporated to give you an understanding of how finance and accounting works in the business environment.

The purpose of this course is to allow you to have the opportunity of different progression routes when applying for jobs or going on to higher education/apprenticeships. This is a one-year study programme (six units equivalent to one and a half A levels) with the option upon successful completion of the course to progress onto the National Extended Diploma (16+) or the AAT Level 3 (part-time) which is for 19+ students.
